information collection to OMB for
review and approval of renewal under
the PRA:
Title of Collection: Section 1512 Data
Elements—Federal Financial
Assistance.
ICR Reference No.: 201004–0430–001.
OMB Control No.: 0430–0004.
ICR Status: The approval for this ICR
is scheduled to expire on 07/31/2013.
Description: Section 1512 of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, Public Law 111–5, 123 Stat.
115 (2009) (Recovery Act), requires
recipients of Recovery Act funds to
report on the use of those funds. These
reports are submitted to
FederalReporting.gov, and certain
information from these reports is then
posted publically. This collection
pertains only to recipients of federal
financial assistance.
More specifically, prime recipients,
sub-recipients, and vendors who receive
federal financial assistance Recovery
Act funds are required to submit section
1512 data elements as set forth in the
Recipient Reporting Data Dictionary
(available electronically at https://

following is a cumulative summary of
the reporting guidance issued by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in its June 22, 2009, guidance
entitled, ‘‘Implementing Guidance for
the Reports on Use of Funds Pursuant
to the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ (M–09–21),
and its December 18, 2009, guidance
entitled, ‘‘Updated Guidance on the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act—Data Quality, Non-Reporting
Recipients, and Reporting of Job
Estimates’’ (M–10–08):
Prime Recipients: The prime recipient
is ultimately responsible for the
reporting of all data required by section
1512 of the Recovery Act and the OMB
Guidance, including the Federal
Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act (FFATA) data
elements for the sub-recipients of the
prime recipient required under section
1512(c)(4). In addition, the prime
recipient must report three additional
data elements associated with any
vendors receiving funds from the prime
recipient for any payments greater than
$25,000. Specifically, the prime
recipient must report the identity of the
vendor by reporting the DUNS number,
the amount of the payment, and a
description of what was obtained in
exchange for the payment. If the vendor
does not have a DUNS number, then the
name and zip code of the vendor’s
headquarters will be used for
identification.
Sub-Recipients of the Prime Recipient:
The sub-recipients of the prime
recipient may be required by the prime
recipient to report the FFATA data
elements required under section
1512(c)(4) for payments from the prime
recipient to the sub-recipient. The
reporting sub-recipients must also
report one data element associated with
any vendors receiving funds from that
sub-recipient. Specifically, the subrecipient must report, for any payments
greater than $25,000, the identity of the
vendor by reporting the DUNS number,
if available, or otherwise the name and
zip code of the vendor’s headquarters.
Required Data: The specific data
elements to be reported by prime
recipients and sub-recipients are
included in the Recipient Reporting
Data Dictionary. Below are the basic
reporting requirements to be reported on
prime recipients, recipient vendors, subrecipients, and sub-recipient vendors.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of Investor

Extension:
Rule 17Ad–10, SEC File No. 270–265,
OMB Control No. 3235–0273.
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’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17Ad–10, (17 CFR
240.17Ad–10), 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.
Rule 17Ad–10 generally requires
registered transfer agents to: (1) Create
and maintain current and accurate
securityholder records; (2) promptly and
accurately record all transfers,
purchases, redemptions, and issuances,
and notify their appropriate regulatory
agency if they are unable to do so; (3)
exercise diligent and continuous
attention in resolving record
inaccuracies; (4) disclose to the issuers
for whom they perform transfer agent
functions and to their appropriate
regulatory agency information regarding
record inaccuracies; (5) buy-in certain
record inaccuracies that result in a
PO 00000
Frm 00156

Sfmt 4703
physical over issuance of securities; and
(6) communicate with other transfer
agents related to the same issuer. These
requirements assist in the creation and
maintenance of accurate securityholder
records, enhance the ability to research
errors, and ensure the transfer agent is
aware of the number of securities that
are properly authorized by the issuer,
thereby avoiding over issuance.
The rule also has specific
recordkeeping requirements. It requires
registered transfer agents to retain
certificate detail that has been deleted
for six years and keep current an
accurate record of the number of shares
or principal dollar amount of debt
securities that the issuer has authorized
to be outstanding. These mandatory
requirements ensure accurate
securityholder records and assist the
Commission and other regulatory
agencies with monitoring transfer agents
and ensuring compliance with the rule.
This rule does not involve the collection
of confidential information.
There are approximately 464
registered transfer agents. We estimate
that the average number of hours
necessary for each transfer agent to
comply with Rule 17Ad–10 is
approximately 80 hours per year, which
generates an industry-wide annual
burden of 37,120 hours (464 times 80
hours). This burden is of a
recordkeeping nature but also includes
a small amount of third party disclosure
and SEC reporting burdens. At an
average staff cost of $50 per hour, the
industry-wide internal labor cost of
compliance (a monetization of the
burden hours) is approximately
$1,856,000 per year (37,120 × $50). In
addition, we estimate that each transfer
agent will incur an annual external cost
burden of $18,000 resulting from the
collection of information. Therefore, the
total annual external cost on the entire
transfer agent industry is approximately
$8,352,000 ($18,000 times 464). This
cost primarily reflects ongoing computer
operations and maintenance associated
with generating, maintaining, and
disclosing or providing certain
information required by the rule.
The amount of time any particular
transfer agent will devote to Rule 17Ad–
10 compliance will vary according to
the size and scope of the transfer agent’s
business activity. We note, however,
that at least some of the records,
processes, and communications
required by Rule 17Ad–10 would likely
be maintained, generated, and used for
transfer agent business purposes even
without the rule.

information is necessary for the proper
