It is estimated that the active broker-dealer respondents registered with the Commission incur an aggregate burden of 73,300 hours per year to comply with this rule.

(the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Rule 17f–1(b) under the Exchange Act requires approximately 26,000 entities in the securities industry to register in the Lost and Stolen Securities Program (‘‘Program’’). Registration fulfills a statutory requirement that entities report and inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen securities. Registration also allows entities in the securities industry to gain access to a confidential database that stores information for the Program. We estimate that 1,000 new entities will register in the Program each year. The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply with the Rule 17f–1(b) is one-half hour. The total burden is therefore 500 hours (1,000 times one-half) annually for all participants. E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM 06OCN1
