Extension:
Regulation AC; OMB Control No.
3235–0575; SEC File No. 270–517.
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 existing collection of information
provided for in the following rule:
Regulation Analyst Certification (AC)
(17 CFR 242.500–505), 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 (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Regulation AC requires that research
reports published, circulated, or
provided by a broker or dealer or
covered person contain a statement
attesting that the views expressed in
each research report accurately reflect
the analyst’s personal views and
whether or not the research analyst
received or will receive any
compensation in connection with the
views or recommendations expressed in
the research report. Regulation AC also
requires broker-dealers to, on a quarterly
basis, make, keep, and maintain records
of research analyst statements regarding
whether the views expressed in public
appearances accurately reflected the
analyst’s personal views, and whether
any part of the analyst’s compensation
is related to the specific
recommendations or views expressed in
the public appearance. Regulation AC
also requires that research prepared by

Jkt 226001
foreign persons be presented to U.S.
persons pursuant to Securities Exchange
Act Rule 15a–6 and that broker-dealers
notify associated persons if they would
be covered by the regulation. Regulation
AC excludes the news media from its
coverage.
The Commission estimates that
Regulation AC imposes an aggregate
annual time burden of approximately
26,230 hours on 5,186 respondents, or
approximately 5 hours per respondent.
The Commission estimates that the total
annual internal cost of the 26,230 hours
is approximately $10,615,404.00, or
approximately $2,047.00 per
respondent, annually.
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 OMB
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 OMB control number.

Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,
