Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 28 / Thursday, February 10, 2011 / Notices
Rule 104 of Regulation M (17 CFR
242.104)—Stabilizing and Other
Activities in Connection with an
Offering permits stabilizing by a
distribution participant during a
distribution so long as the distribution
participant discloses information to the
market and investors. This rule requires
disclosure in offering materials of the
potential stabilizing transactions and
that the distribution participant inform
the market when a stabilizing bid is
made. It also requires the distribution
participants (i.e. the syndicate manager)
to maintain information regarding
syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids and disclose such
information to the Self-Regulatory
Organization (SRO).
There are approximately 745
respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 149 hours to comply
with this rule. Each respondent makes
an estimated 1 annual response. Each
response takes approximately 0.20
hours (12 minutes) to complete. Thus,
the total compliance burden per year is
149 burden hours. The total internal
labor compliance cost for the
respondents is approximately $9,983.00,
resulting in a cost of compliance for the
respondent per response of
approximately $13.40 (i.e., $9,983/745
responses).
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.
Comments should be directed to:
Thomas Bayer, Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, C/O Remi Pavlik-Simon,
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria,
Virginia 22312 or send an e-mail to:
