Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (‘‘PRA’’) (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 Rule 602 of Regulation NMS (17 CFR 240.602), 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 602 of Regulation NMS, Dissemination of Quotations in NMS securities, contains two related collections. The first collection of information is found in Rule 602(a).1 This third-party disclosure requirement obligates each national securities exchange and national securities association to make available to quotation vendors for dissemination to the public the best bid, best offer, and aggregate quotation size for each ‘‘subject security,’’ as defined under the Rule. The second collection of information is found in Rule 602(b).2 This disclosure requirement obligates any exchange member and over-thecounter (‘‘OTC’’) market maker that is a ‘‘responsible broker or dealer,’’ as defined under the Rule, to communicate to an exchange or association its best bids, best offers, and quotation sizes for subject securities.3 1 17 CFR 242.602(a).

Thus, the aggregate third-party disclosure burden under Rule 602 is 27,750 hours annually which is comprised of 4,250 hours relating to Rule 602(a) and 23,500 hours relating to Rule 602(b). Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collections 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 collections of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

SEC File No. 270–512, OMB Control No. 3235–0570 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 (the ‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments on the collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Form N–CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128) is a combined reporting form used by registered management investment companies (‘‘funds’’) to file certified shareholder reports under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Specifically, Form N–CSR is to be used for reports under section 30(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–29(b)(2)) and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and 78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2–1(a) under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.30b2–1(a)). Reports on Form N CSR are to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) no later than 10 days after the transmission to stockholders of any report that is required to be transmitted to stockholders under rule 30e–1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.30e–1). Form N–CSR is filed semi-annually, and the Commission estimates that there are 3,288 respondents. The Commission also estimates that the average number of portfolios referenced in each filing is 3.75. The Commission further estimates that the hour burden for preparing and filing a report on Form N–CSR is 7.21 hours per portfolio. Given that filings on Form N–CSR are filed semi-annually, filings on Form N–CSR require 14.42 PO 00000 Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 hours per portfolio each year. The total annual hour burden for Form N–CSR, therefore, is estimated to be 177,799 hours. The estimated total annual cost burden to respondents for outside professionals associated with the collection of data relating to Form N– CSR is $3,189,771. The collection of information under Form N–CSR is mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept confidential. 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 control number. Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-2013.

Extension:
    Rule 602. SEC File No. 270-404, OMB Control No. 3235-0461.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (``PRA'') (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 Rule 602 of Regulation NMS 
(17 CFR 240.602), 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 602 of Regulation NMS, Dissemination of Quotations in NMS 
securities, contains two related collections. The first collection of 
information is found in Rule 602(a).\1\ This third-party disclosure 
requirement obligates each national securities exchange and national 
securities association to make available to quotation vendors for 
dissemination to the public the best bid, best offer, and aggregate 
quotation size for each ``subject security,'' as defined under the 
Rule. The second collection of information is found in Rule 602(b).\2\ 
This disclosure requirement obligates any exchange member and over-the-
counter (``OTC'') market maker that is a ``responsible broker or 
dealer,'' as defined under the Rule, to communicate to an exchange or 
association its best bids, best offers, and quotation sizes for subject 
securities.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 17 CFR 242.602(a).
    \2\ 17 CFR 242.602(b).
    \3\ Under Rule 602(b)(5), electronic communications networks 
(``ECNs'') have the option of reporting to an exchange or 
association for public dissemination, on behalf of customers that 
are OTC market makers or exchange market makers, the best-priced 
orders and the full size for such orders entered by market makers on 
the ECN, to satisfy such market makers' reporting obligation under 
Rule 602(b). Since this reporting requirement is an alternative 
method of meeting the market makers' reporting obligation, and 
because it is directed to nine or fewer persons (ECNs), this 
collection of information is not subject to OMB review under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'').
