ACTION:
(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
Numbers 59002 and 59008)
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Section 6 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
(‘‘Act’’) sets out a framework for the
registration and regulation of national
securities exchanges. Under Rule 6a–3
(17 CFR 240.6a–3), one of the rules that
implements Section 6, a national
securities exchange (or an exchange
exempted from registration based on
limited trading volume) must provide
certain supplemental information to the
Commission, including any material
(including notices, circulars, bulletins,
lists, and periodicals) issued or made
generally available to members of, or
participants or subscribers to, the
exchange. Rule 6a–3 also requires the
exchanges to file monthly reports that
set forth the volume and aggregate
dollar amount of securities sold on the
exchange each month. The information
required to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 6a–3 is
designed to enable the Commission to
carry out its statutorily mandated
oversight functions and to ensure that
registered and exempt exchanges
continue to be in compliance with the
Act.
The Commission estimates that each
respondent makes approximately 25
such filings on an annual basis at an
average cost of approximately $36 per
response. Currently, 15 respondents (13
national securities exchanges and two
exempt exchanges) are subject to the
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collection of information requirements
of Rule 6a–3. The Commission estimates
that the total burden for all respondents
is 187.5 hours (25 filings/respondent per
year × 0.5 hours/response × 15
respondents) and $13,500 ($36/response
× 25 responses/respondent per year × 15
respondents) per year.
Compliance with Rule 6a–3 is
mandatory for registered and exempt
exchanges. Information received in
response to Rule 6a–3 shall not be kept
confidential; the information collected
is public information. As set forth in
Rule 17a–1 (17 CFR 240.17a–1) under
the Act, a national securities exchange
is required to retain records of the
collection of information for at least five
years.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.
Comments should be directed to (i)
Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 9, 2010 / Notices
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Form 15F (17 CFR 249.324) is filed by
a foreign private issuer when
terminating its Exchange Act reporting
obligations under Exchange Act Rule
12h–6 (240.12h–6). Form 15F requires a
filer to disclose information that helps
investors understand the foreign private
issuer’s decision to terminate its
Exchange Act reporting obligations and
assist Commission staff in determining
whether the filer is eligible to terminate
its Exchange Act reporting obligations
pursuant to Rule 12h–6. Compared to
Exchange Act Rules 12g–4 (240.12g–4)
and 12h–3 (240.12h–3), Rule 12h–6
makes it easier for a foreign private
issuer to exit the Exchange Act
registration and reporting regime when
there is relatively little U.S. investor
interest in its securities. Rule 12h–6 is
intended to remove a disincentive for
foreign private issuers to register
initially their securities with the
Commission by lessening their concern
that the Exchange Act registration and
reporting system is difficult to exit once
an issuer joins it. We estimate that Form
15F takes approximately 30 hours to
prepare and is filed by approximately
300 issuers. We estimate that 25% of the
30 hours per response (7.5 hours per
response) is prepared by the filer for a
total annual reporting burden of 2,250
hours (7.5 hours per response × 300
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.

Extension:
Form S–6; SEC File No. 270–181; OMB
Control No. 3235–0184.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form S–6 (17 CFR
239.16), for Registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 of Securities of
Unit Investment Trusts Registered on
Form N–8B–2 (17 CFR 274.13).’’ Form
S–6 is a form used for registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a
et seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’) of securities of
any unit investment trust (‘‘UIT’’)
registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) on
Form N–8B–2.1 Section 5 of the
Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77e) requires
the filing of a registration statement
prior to the offer of securities to the
public and that the statement be
effective before any securities are sold.
Section 5(b) of the Securities Act
requires that investors be provided with
a prospectus containing the information
required in a registration statement prior
to the sale or at the time of confirmation
or delivery of the securities.
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
(15 U.S.C. 77j(a)(3)) provides that when
a prospectus is used more than nine
months after the effective date of the
1 Form N–8B–2 is the form used by UITs other
than separate accounts that are currently issuing
securities, including UITs that are issuers of
periodic payment plan certificates and UITs of
which a management investment company is the
sponsor or depositor to register under the
Investment Company Act pursuant to Section 8
thereof.

registration statement, the information
therein shall be as of a date not more
than sixteen months prior to such use.
As a result, most UITs update their
registration statements under the
Securities Act on an annual basis in
order that their sponsors may continue
to maintain a secondary market in the
units. UITs that are registered under the
Investment Company Act on Form N–
8B–2 file post-effective amendments to
their registration statements on Form S–
6 in order to update their prospectuses.
The purpose of Form S–6 is to meet
the filing and disclosure requirements of
the Securities Act and to enable filers to
provide investors with information
necessary to evaluate an investment in
the security. This information collection
differs significantly from many other
federal information collections, which
are primarily for the use and benefit of
the collecting agency. The information
required to be filed with the
Commission permits verification of
compliance with securities law
requirements and assures the public
availability and dissemination of the
information.
The Commission estimates that there
are approximately 938 initial
registration statements filed on Form S–
6 annually and approximately 1,116
annual post-effective amendments to
previously effective registration
statements filed on Form S–6. The
Commission estimates that the hour
burden for preparing and filing an
initial registration statement on Form S–
6 or for preparing and filing a posteffective amendment to a previously
effective registration statement filed on
Form S–6 is 35 hours. Therefore, the
total burden of preparing and filing
Form S–6 for all affected UITs is 71,890
hours.
The information collection
requirements imposed by Form S–6 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection
of information will not be kept
confidential. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection

Extension:
Form 15F; OMB Control No. 3235-0621; SEC File No. 270-559.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information
[[Page 32823]]
summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Form 15F (17 CFR 249.324) is filed by a foreign private issuer when
terminating its Exchange Act reporting obligations under Exchange Act
Rule 12h-6 (240.12h-6). Form 15F requires a filer to disclose
information that helps investors understand the foreign private
issuer's decision to terminate its Exchange Act reporting obligations
and assist Commission staff in determining whether the filer is
eligible to terminate its Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant
to Rule 12h-6. Compared to Exchange Act Rules 12g-4 (240.12g-4) and
12h-3 (240.12h-3), Rule 12h-6 makes it easier for a foreign private
issuer to exit the Exchange Act registration and reporting regime when
there is relatively little U.S. investor interest in its securities.
Rule 12h-6 is intended to remove a disincentive for foreign private
issuers to register initially their securities with the Commission by
lessening their concern that the Exchange Act registration and
reporting system is difficult to exit once an issuer joins it. We
estimate that Form 15F takes approximately 30 hours to prepare and is
filed by approximately 300 issuers. We estimate that 25% of the 30
hours per response (7.5 hours per response) is prepared by the filer
for a total annual reporting burden of 2,250 hours (7.5 hours per
response x 300 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
