Extension:
Rule 302; SEC File No. 270–453; OMB
Control No. 3235–0510.
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 approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of
information provided for in Rule 302
(17 CFR 242.302) of Regulation ATS (17
CFR 242.300 et seq.) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Regulation ATS sets forth a regulatory
regime for ‘‘alternative trading systems’’
(‘‘ATSs’’), which are entities that carry
out exchange functions but which are
not required to register as national
securities exchanges under the Act. In
lieu of exchange registration, an ATS
can instead opt to register with the
Commission as a broker-dealer and, as
a condition to not having to register as
an exchange, must instead comply with
Regulation ATS. Rule 302 of Regulation
ATS (17 CFR 242.302) describes the
recordkeeping requirements for ATSs.
Under Rule 302, ATSs are required to
make a record of subscribers to the ATS,
daily summaries of trading in the ATS,
and time-sequenced records of order
information in the ATS.
The information required to be
collected under Rule 302 should
increase the abilities of the Commission,
state securities regulatory authorities,
and the self-regulatory organizations
(‘‘SROs’’) to ensure that ATSs are in
compliance with Regulation ATS as
well as other applicable rules and
regulations. If the information is not
collected or collected less frequently,
the regulators would be limited in their
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Sep 02, 2010
Jkt 220001
ability to comply with their statutory
obligations, provide for the protection of
investors, and promote the maintenance
of fair and orderly markets.
Respondents consist of ATSs that
choose to register as broker-dealers and
comply with the requirements of
Regulation ATS. There are currently 81
respondents. These respondents will
spend approximately 10,530 hours per
year (81 respondents at 130 burden
hours/respondent) to comply with the
recordkeeping requirements of Rule 302.
At an average cost per burden hour of
$59, the resultant total related cost of
compliance for these respondents is
$621,270.00 per year (10,530 burden
hours multiplied by $59/hour).
Compliance with Rule 302 is
mandatory. The information required by
Rule 302 is available only for the
examination of the Commission staff,
state securities authorities, and the
SROs. Subject to the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
§ 522 (‘‘FOIA’’), and the Commission’s
rule (17 CFR 200.80(b)(4)(iii)), the
Commission does not generally publish
or make available information contained
in any reports, summaries, analyses,
letters, or memoranda arising out of, in
anticipation of, or in connection with an
examination or inspection of the books
and records of any person or any other
investigation.
ATSs are required to preserve any
records, for at least three years, made in
the process of complying with the
requirements set out in Rule 302.
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
