    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management

U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17g-3 contains reporting requirements. The collection of 
information obligations imposed by the rule is mandatory. The 
requirements of Rule 17g-3, however, apply only to credit rating 
agencies that are registered with the Commission as a nationally 
recognized statistical rating organization (``NRSRO)'', and 
registration is voluntary. Under Rule 17g-3 each NRSRO must submit 
annual audited financial statements. The Commission previously 
estimated that approximately 30 credit rating agencies would register 
with the Commission as NRSROs under section 15E of the Exchange Act.\1\ 
Currently, there are nine credit rating agencies which have registered 
with the Commission as NRSROs. Consequently, while the Commission 
expects more credit rating agencies may become registered as NRSROs 
over the next few years, the Commission believes that the estimated 
number of ten NRSROs should be used for purposes of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. Thus, the Commission estimates that the adjusted current 
industry-wide annual burden for Rule 17g-3 would be 2,033 hours, which 
includes a one-time reporting burden for processing reports.
