reporting institutions, compliance with
Rule 17f–1 could not be monitored
effectively.
The Commission estimates that there
are 25,458 reporting institutions
(respondents) and, on average, each
respondent would need to retain 33
records annually, with each retention
requiring approximately 1 minute (33
minutes or .55 hours). The total
estimated annual burden is 14,001.9
hours (25,458 × .55 hours = 14,001.9).
Assuming an average hourly cost for
clerical work of $50.00, the average total
yearly record retention cost for each
respondent would be $27.50 ($50 × .55
hours). Based on these estimates, the
total annual cost for the estimated
25,458 reporting institutions would be
approximately $700,095 (25,458 ×
$27.50).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be 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:
Rule 17a–1, SEC File No. 270–244, OMB
Control No. 3235–0208.
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 existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17a–1 (17 CFR
240.17a–1) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 17a–1 requires that every
national securities exchange, national
securities association, registered
clearing agency, and the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board keep on
file for a period of not less than five
years, the first two years in an easily
accessible place, at least one copy of all
documents, including all
correspondence, memoranda, papers,
books, notices, accounts, and other such
records made or received by it in the
course of its business as such and in the
conduct of its self-regulatory activity,
and that such documents be available
for examination by the Commission.
There are 22 entities required to
comply with the rule: 14 national
securities exchanges, 1 national
securities association, 6 registered
clearing agencies, and the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board. The
Commission staff estimates that the
average number of hours necessary for
compliance with the requirements of
Rule 17a–1 is 50 hours per year. In
addition, 4 national securities
exchanges notice-registered pursuant to
Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(g))
are required to preserve records of
determinations made under Rule 3a55–
1 under the Act (17 CFR 240.3a55–1),
which the Commission staff estimates
will take 1 hour per exchange, for a total
of 4 hours. Accordingly, the
Commission staff estimates that the total
number of hours necessary to comply
with the requirements of Rule 17a–1 is
1,104 hours. The average cost per hour
is $59. Therefore, the total cost of
compliance for all respondents is
$65,136.
Written comments are invited on (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
