(the ‘‘Act’’). VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:20 May 16, 2013 Jkt 229001 Rule 19b–4(e) permits a selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) to list and trade a new derivative securities product without submitting a proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)), so long as such product meets the criteria of Rule 19b–4(e) under the Act. However, in order for the Commission to maintain an accurate record of all new derivative securities products traded on the SROs, Rule 19b–4(e) requires an SRO to file a summary form, Form 19b–4(e), to notify the Commission when the SRO begins trading a new derivative securities product that is not required to be submitted as a proposed rule change to the Commission. Form 19b–4(e) should be submitted within five business days after an SRO begins trading a new derivative securities product that is not required to be submitted as a proposed rule change. In addition, Rule 19b–4(e) requires an SRO to maintain, on-site, a copy of Form 19b–4(e) for a prescribed period of time. This collection of information is designed to allow the Commission to maintain an accurate record of all new derivative securities products traded on the SROs that are not deemed to be proposed rule changes and to determine whether an SRO has properly availed itself of the permission granted by Rule 19b–4(e). The Commission reviews SRO compliance with Rule 19b–4(e) through its routine inspections of the SROs. The respondents to the collection of information are SROs (as defined by the Act), all of which are national securities exchanges. As of March 2013, there are seventeen entities registered as national securities exchanges with the Commission. The Commission receives an average total of 3,879 responses per year, which corresponds to an estimated annual response burden of 3,879 hours. At an average hourly cost of $63, the aggregate related cost of compliance with Rule 19b–4(e) is $244,377 (3,879 burden hours multiplied by $63/hour). Compliance with Rule 19b–4(e) is mandatory. Information received in response to Rule 19b–4(e) shall not be kept confidential; the information collected is public information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 19b-4(e) and Form 19b-4(e); SEC File No. 270-447; OMB Control 
No. 3235-0504.

    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 and Budget 
(OMB) a request for approval of extension of the previously approved 
collection of information provided for in Rule 19b-4(e) (17 CFR 
240.19b-4(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.) (the ``Act'').
    Rule 19b-4(e) permits a self-regulatory organization (``SRO'') to 
list and trade a new derivative securities product without submitting a 
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 
78s(b)), so long as such product meets the criteria of Rule 19b-4(e) 
under the Act. However, in order for the Commission to maintain an 
accurate record of all new derivative securities products traded on the 
SROs, Rule 19b-4(e) requires an SRO to file a summary form, Form 19b-
4(e), to notify the Commission when the SRO begins trading a new 
derivative securities product that is not required to be submitted as a 
proposed rule change to the Commission. Form 19b-4(e) should be 
submitted within five business days after an SRO begins trading a new 
derivative securities product that is not required to be submitted as a 
proposed rule change. In addition, Rule 19b-4(e) requires an SRO to 
maintain, on-site, a copy of Form 19b-4(e) for a prescribed period of 
time.
    This collection of information is designed to allow the Commission 
to maintain an accurate record of all new derivative securities 
products traded on the SROs that are not deemed to be proposed rule 
changes and to determine whether an SRO has properly availed itself of 
the permission granted by Rule 19b-4(e). The Commission reviews SRO 
compliance with Rule 19b-4(e) through its routine inspections of the 
SROs.
    The respondents to the collection of information are SROs (as 
defined by the Act), all of which are national securities exchanges. As 
of March 2013, there are seventeen entities registered as national 
securities exchanges with the Commission. The Commission receives an 
average total of 3,879 responses per year, which corresponds to an 
estimated annual response burden of 3,879 hours. At an average hourly 
cost of $63, the aggregate related cost of compliance with Rule 19b-
4(e) is $244,377 (3,879 burden hours multiplied by $63/hour).
    Compliance with Rule 19b-4(e) is mandatory. Information received in 
response to Rule 19b-4(e) shall not be kept confidential; the 
information collected is public information. An agency may not conduct 
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. Comments should 
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,

this notice.
