proprietary trading activity. The staff
estimates that the average time spent per
respondent is 100 hours per year on an
ongoing basis to maintain the records
required under the Rule. This estimate
takes into account the fact that more
than half the 5,030 respondents—
according to financial reports filed with
the Commission—may spend little or no
time in complying with the rule, given
that they do not do a public securities
business or do not hold inventories of
securities. For these reasons, the staff
estimates that the total compliance
burden per year is 503,000 hours (5,030
respondents × 100 hours/respondent).
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 has 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 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.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number.
Comments should be directed to:
Thomas Bayer, Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,

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
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–2 (17 CFR 240.17a–2)—
Recordkeeping Requirements Relating
to Stabilizing Activities
Rule 17a–2 requires underwriters to
maintain information regarding
stabilizing activities conducted in
accordance with Rule 104. The
collections of information under
Regulation M and Rule 17a–2 are
necessary for covered persons to obtain
certain benefits or to comply with
certain requirements. The collections of
information are necessary to provide the
Commission with information regarding
syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids. The Commission may
review this information during periodic
examinations or with respect to
investigations. Except for the
information required to be kept under
Rule 104(i) (17 CFR 242.104(i)) and Rule
17a–2(c), none of the information
required to be collected or disclosed for
PRA purposes will be kept confidential.
The recordkeeping requirement of Rule
17a–2 requires the information be
maintained in a separate file, or in a
separately retrievable format, for a
period of three years, the first two years
in an easily accessible place, consistent
with the requirements of Exchange Act
Rule 17a–4(f) (17 CFR 240.17a–4(f)).
There are approximately 745
respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 3,725 hours to comply
with this rule. Each respondent makes
an estimated 1 annual response. Each
response takes approximately 5 hours to
complete. Thus, the total compliance
burden per year is 3,725 burden hours.
The total compliance cost for the
respondents is approximately
$212,213.25, resulting in a cost of
compliance for the respondent per
response of approximately $284.85 (i.e.,
$212,213.25/745 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

(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
