Extension:
Rule 17f–2(a), SEC File No. 270–34, OMB
Control No. 3235–0034.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information for Rule 17f–2(a) (17 CFR
240.17–2(a)), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.).
Rule 17f–2(a) (Fingerprinting
Requirements for Securities
Professionals) requires that securities
professionals be fingerprinted. This
requirement serves to identify securityrisk personnel, to allow an employer to
make fully informed employment
decisions, and to deter possible
wrongdoers from seeking employment
in the securities industry. Partners,
directors, officers, and employees of
exchanges, brokers, dealers, transfer
agents, and clearing agencies are
included.
The Commission staff estimates that
approximately 10,000 respondents will
submit fingerprint cards each year. It
also estimates that each respondent will
submit 55 fingerprint cards per year.
The staff estimates that the average
number of hours necessary to comply
with Rule 17f–2(a) by completing a
fingerprint card is one-half hour. Thus,
the total estimated annual burden is
275,000 hours for all respondents
(550,000 times one-half hour). The
average estimated internal labor cost of
compliance per hour is approximately
$50. Therefore, the total estimated
annual internal labor cost of compliance
for all respondents is $13,750,000
(275,000 times $50).

Jkt 226001
Fingerprint cards submitted under
Rule 17f–2(a) must be retained for a
period of not less than three years after
termination of the person’s employment
relationship with the organization.
Submitting fingerprint cards for all
securities personnel is mandatory to
obtain the benefit of identifying
security-risk personnel, allowing an
employer to make fully informed
employment decisions and deterring
possible wrongdoers from seeking
employment in the securities industry.
Fingerprint cards submitted according
to Rule 17f–2(a) will not be kept
confidential.
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.

information collection may be viewed at
