The respondents to the collection of information are large traders. Each new large trader respondent files one response, which takes approximately 20 hours to complete. The average internal cost of compliance per response is $5,177, calculated as follows: (3 hours of compliance manager time at $283 per hour) + (7 hours of legal time at $334 per hour) + (10 hours of paralegal time at $199 per hour) = $5,177. Additionally, on average, each large trader respondent (including new respondents) files 2 responses per year, which take approximately 6 hours to complete. The average internal cost of compliance per response is $1,632, calculated as follows: (2 hours of compliance manager time at $283 per hour) + (2 hours of legal time at $334 per hour) + (2 hours of paralegal time at $199 per hour) = $1,632. Each registered broker-dealer’s monitoring requirement takes approximately 15 hours per year. The average internal cost of compliance is $5,010, calculated as follows: 15 hours of legal time at $334 per hour = $5010. The Commission estimates that it may send 100 requests specifically seeking large trader data per year to each registered broker-dealer subject to the rule, and it would take each registered broker-dealer 2 hours to comply with each request Accordingly, the annual reporting hour burden for a brokerdealer is estimated to be 200 burden hours (100 requests x 2 burden hours/ request = 200 burden hours). The average internal cost of compliance per response is $398, calculated as follows: 2 hours of paralegal time at $199 per hour = $398. Compliance with Rule 13h–1 is mandatory. The information collection under proposed Rule 13h–1 is considered confidential subject to the limited exceptions provided by the Freedom of Information Act.4 Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 3 The Commission, pursuant to Rule 17a–25 (17 CFR 240.17a–25), currently collects transaction data from registered broker-dealers through the Electronic Blue Sheets (‘‘EBS’’) system to support its regulatory and enforcement activities.
