Extension:
Rule 17Ad–3(b); SEC File No. 270–424,
OMB Control No. 3235–0473.
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’’) 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 17Ad–3(b) (17 CFR 240.17Ad–
3(b)), under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ad–3(b) requires registered
transfer agents to send a copy of the
written notice required under Rule
17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h) to the chief
executive officer of each issuer for
which the transfer agent acts when it
has failed to turnaround at least 75% of
all routine items in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 17Ad–2(a), or to
process at least 75% of all items in
VerDate Mar<15>2010

accordance with the requirements of
Rule 17Ad–2(b), for two consecutive
months. The issuer may use the
information contained in the notices to:
(1) Provide an early warning to the
issuer of the transfer agent’s noncompliance with the Commission’s
minimum performance standards
regarding registered transfer agents; and
(2) assure that the issuer is aware of
problems and poor performance with
respect to the transfer agents that are
servicing the issuer’s securities. If the
issuer does not receive notice of a
registered transfer agent’s failure to
comply with the Commission’s
minimum performance standards then
the issuer will be unable to take
remedial action to correct the problem
or to find another registered transfer
agent. Pursuant to Rule 17Ad–3(b), a
transfer agent that has already filed a
Notice of Non-Compliance with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 17Ad–2
will only be required to send a copy of
that notice to issuers for which it acts
when that transfer agent fails to
turnaround 75% of all routine items or
to process 75% of all items.
The Commission estimates that only
two transfer agents will meet the
requirements of Rule 17Ad–3(b). If a
transfer agent fails to meet those
requirements under 17Ad–3(b), it would
simply send a copy of the notice that
had already been produced for the
Commission. The Commission estimates
the requirement will take each
respondent approximately one hour to
complete, for a total annual estimate
burden of two hours at an internal labor
costs cost of approximately $60.00 an
hour. There are no external labor costs
associated with sending the notice to
issuers.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Extension:
Rule 17Ab2–1, Form CA–1; SEC File No.
270–203, OMB Control No. 3235–0195.
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’’) 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 17Ab2–1 (17 CFR 240.17Ab2–1)
and Form CA–1: Registration of Clearing
Agencies (17 CFR 249b.200) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ab2–1 and Form CA–1 require
clearing agencies to register with the
Commission and to meet certain
requirements with regard to, among
other things, the clearing agency’s
organization, capacities, and rules. The
information is collected from the
clearing agency upon the initial
application for registration on Form
CA–1. Thereafter, information is
collected by amendment to the initial
Form CA–1 when material changes in
circumstances necessitate modification
of the information previously provided
to the Commission.
The Commission uses the information
disclosed on Form CA–1 to (i)
determine whether an applicant meets
the standards for registration set forth in
Section 17A of the Exchange Act, (ii)
enforce compliance with the Exchange
Act’s registration requirement, and (iii)
provide information about specific
registered clearing agencies for
compliance and investigatory purposes.
Without Rule 17Ab2–1, the Commission
could not perform these duties as
statutorily required.
The Commission staff estimates that
each initial Form CA–1 requires
approximately 130 hours to complete

Extension:
Rule 17Ad-3(b); SEC File No. 270-424, OMB Control No. 3235-0473.
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'') 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
17Ad-3(b) (17 CFR 240.17Ad-3(b)), under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ad-3(b) requires registered transfer agents to send a copy
of the written notice required under Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h) to
the chief executive officer of each issuer for which the transfer agent
acts when it has failed to turnaround at least 75% of all routine items
in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-2(a), or to process at
least 75% of all items in accordance with the requirements of Rule
17Ad-2(b), for two consecutive months. The issuer may use the
information contained in the notices to: (1) Provide an early warning
to the issuer of the transfer agent's non-compliance with the
Commission's minimum performance standards regarding registered
transfer agents; and (2) assure that the issuer is aware of problems
and poor performance with respect to the transfer agents that are
servicing the issuer's securities. If the issuer does not receive
notice of a registered transfer agent's failure to comply with the
Commission's minimum performance standards then the issuer will be
unable to take remedial action to correct the problem or to find
another registered transfer agent. Pursuant to Rule 17Ad-3(b), a
transfer agent that has already filed a Notice of Non-Compliance with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 17Ad-2 will only be required to send a
copy of that notice to issuers for which it acts when that transfer
agent fails to turnaround 75% of all routine items or to process 75% of
all items.
The Commission estimates that only two transfer agents will meet
the requirements of Rule 17Ad-3(b). If a transfer agent fails to meet
those requirements under 17Ad-3(b), it would simply send a copy of the
notice that had already been produced for the Commission. The
Commission estimates the requirement will take each respondent
