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. Information collected and information prepared pursuant to Regulation S–X focus on the form and content of, and requirements for, financial statements filed with periodic reports and in connection with the offer and sale of securities. Investors need reasonably current financial statements to make informed investment and voting decisions. The potential respondents include all entities that file registration statements or reports pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a, et seq.), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1, et seq.). Regulation S–X specifies the form and content of financial statements when those financial statements are required to be filed by other rules and forms under the Federal securities laws. Compliance burdens associated with the financial statements are assigned to the rule or form that directly requires the financial statements to be filed, not to Regulation S–X. Instead, an estimated burden of one hour traditionally has PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16461 been assigned to Regulation S–X for incidental reading of the regulation. The estimated average burden hours are solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of SEC rules or forms. 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 will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the 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.

(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this

``Registration of securities information processors: form of 
application and amendments''.
    On September 23, 1975, the Commission adopted Rule 11Ab2-1 and Form 
SIP under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.) to establish the procedures by which Securities Information 
Processor (``SIP'') files and amends their SIP registration 
statements.\1\ Under Regulation NMS Rule 11Ab2-1was redesignated as 
Rule 609.\2\ The information filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 
609 and Form SIP is designed to provide the Commission with the 
information necessary to make the required findings under the Act 
before granting the SIP's application for registration. In addition, 
the requirement that a SIP file an amendment to correct any inaccurate 
information is designed to assure that the Commission has current, 
accurate information with respect to the SIP. This information is also 
made available to members of the public.

    \1\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 11673 (September 23, 
1975), 40 FR 45422 (October 2, 1975).

2005), 70 FR 37496 (June 29, 2005).

    Only exclusive SIPs are required to register with the Commission. 
An exclusive SIP is a SIP that engages on an exclusive basis on behalf 
of any national securities exchange or registered securities 
association, or any national securities exchange or registered 
securities association which engages on an exclusive basis on its own 
behalf, in collecting, processing, or preparing for distribution or 
publication, any information with respect to (i) transactions or 
quotations on or effective or made by means of any facility of such 
exchange or (ii) quotations distributed or published by means of any 
electronic quotation system operated by such association. The Federal 
securities laws require that before the commission may approve the 
registration of an exclusive SIP, it must make certain mandatory 
findings. It takes a SIP applicant approximately 400 hours to prepare 
documents which include sufficient information to enable the Commission 
to make those findings. Currently, there are only two exclusive SIPs 
registered with the Commission; The Securities Information Automation 
Corporation (``SIAC'') and The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (``Nasdaq''). 
SIAC and Nasdaq are required to keep the information on file with the 
Commission current, which entails filing a form SIP annually to update 
information.
    Accordingly, the annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for Rule 
609 and Form SIP is 400 hours; the burden of information collection is 
estimated to involve approximately 1 respondent application for 
registration making 1 response per year. This annual reporting and 
recordkeeping burden does not include the burden hours or cost of 
amending a Form SIP because the Commission has already overstated the 
compliance burdens by assuming that the Commission will receive one 
initial registration pursuant to Rule 609 on Form SIP a year.
    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 will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the 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.
    Please direct your written comments to: Thomas Bayer, Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or
