SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor
Education and Advocacy,
Washington, DC 20549–0213.
Extension:
Rule 17f–2(e); OMB Control No. 3235–
0031; SEC File No. 270–37.
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
provided for in the following rule: Rule
17f–2(e) (17 CFR 240.17f–2(e)) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 17f–2(e) requires members of
national securities exchanges, brokers,
dealers, registered transfer agents, and
registered clearing agencies claiming
exemption from the fingerprinting
requirements of Rule 17f–2 to prepare
and maintain a statement supporting
their claim exemption. There is no filing
requirement. Instead, Rule 17f–2(e)(2)
requires covered entities to make and
keep current a copy of the notice
required by Rule 17f–2(e) in an easily
accessible place at the organization’s
principal office and at the office
employing the persons for whom
exemptions are claimed and shall be
made available upon request for
inspection by the Commission,
appropriate regulatory agency (if not the
Commission) or other designated
examining authority. Notices prepared
pursuant to Rule 17f–2(e) must be
maintained for as long as the covered
entity claims an exemption from the
fingerprinting requirements of Rule 17f–
2. The recordkeeping requirement under
Rule 17f–2(e) assists the Commission
and other regulatory agencies with
ensuring compliance with Rule 17f–2.
We estimate that approximately 75
respondents will incur an average
burden of 30 minutes per year to
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

comply with this rule, which represents
the time it takes for a staff person at a
covered entity to properly document a
claimed exemption from the
fingerprinting requirements of Rule 17f–
2, and properly retain that document
according to the entities record
retention policies and procedures. The
total annual burden for all covered
entities is approximately 38 hours (75
entities times .5 hours, rounded up).
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.
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.
Please direct your written comments

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,
Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail
