Extension:
Rule 17a–3(a)(16); SEC File No. 270–452;
OMB Control No. 3235–0508.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. Sec. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘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.
Rule 17a–3(a)(16) (17 CFR Sec.
240.17a–3(a)(16)) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) (15
U.S.C. 78q et seq.) identifies the records
required to be made by broker-dealers
that operate internal broker-dealer
systems. Those records are to be used in
monitoring compliance with the
Commission’s financial responsibility
program and antifraud and
antimanipulative rules, as well as other
rules and regulations of the Commission
and the self-regulatory organizations. It
is estimated that approximately 105
active broker-dealer respondents
registered with the Commission incur
an average burden of 2,835 hours per
year (105 respondents multiplied by 27
burden hours per respondent equals
2,835 total burden hours) to comply
with this rule.1
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 shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
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
1 The average cost per hour is $258. Therefore the
total cost of compliance for the respondents is
$731,430.

Extension:
Regulation A; OMB Control No. 3235–
0286; SEC File No. 270–110 (Forms 1–A
and 2–A).
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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Regulation A (17 CFR 230.251
through 230.263) provides an exemption
from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) for
certain limited offerings of securities by
issuers who do not otherwise file
reports with the Commission. Form
1–A is an offering statement filed under
Regulation A. Form 2–A is used to
report sales and use of proceeds in
Regulation A offerings. All information
is provided to the public for review. The
information required is filed on
occasion and is mandatory. We estimate
approximately 100 issuers file Forms
1–A and 2–A annually. We estimate that
Form 1–A takes approximately 608
hours to prepare, Form 2–A takes
approximately 12 hours to prepare, and
Regulation A takes one administrative
hour to review for a total of 621 hours
per response. We estimate that 75% of
621 hours per response (465.75 hours) is
prepared by the company for a total
annual burden of 46,575 hours (465.75
× 100 responses).
