Extension: Rule 15c2–12, SEC File No. 270–330, OMB Control No. 3235–0372. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT VerDate Sep<11>2014 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Jkt 235001 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 15c2–12— Municipal Securities Disclosure (17 CFR 240.15c2–12) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Paragraph (b) of Rule 15c2–12 requires underwriters of municipal securities: (1) To obtain and review an official statement ‘‘deemed final’’ by an issuer of the securities, except for the omission of specified information prior to making a bid, purchase, offer, or sale of municipal securities; (2) in noncompetitively bid offerings, to send, upon request, a copy of the most recent preliminary official statement (if one exists) to potential customers; (3) to contract with the issuer to receive, within a specified time, sufficient copies of the final official statement to comply with Rule 15c2–12’s delivery requirement and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’); (4) to send, upon request, a copy of the final official statement to potential customers for a specified period of time; and (5) before purchasing or selling municipal securities in connection with an offering, to reasonably determine that the issuer or the obligated person has undertaken, in a written agreement or contract, for the benefit of holders of such municipal securities, to provide certain information on a continuing basis to the MSRB in an electronic format as prescribed by the MSRB. The information to be provided consists of: (1) Certain annual financial and operating information and audited financial statements (‘‘annual filings’’); (2) notices of the occurrence of any of 14 specific events (‘‘event notices’’); and (3) notices of the failure of an issuer or obligated person to make a submission PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required by a continuing disclosure agreement (‘‘failure to file notices’’). Rule 15c2–12 is intended to enhance disclosure in the municipal securities market, and thereby reduce fraud, by establishing standards for obtaining, reviewing, and disseminating information about municipal securities by their underwriters. Municipal offerings of less than $1 million are exempt from the rule, as are offerings of municipal securities issued in large denominations that are sold to no more than 35 sophisticated investors or have short-term maturities. The Commission previously published a 60-day notice on this collection of information (the ‘‘60-day Notice’’).1 Commission staff has considered the comments received in response to the 60-day Notice and is revising many of the estimates included in the 60-day Notice. In response to previous comment solicitations in 2008 and 2009 on the PRA burdens associated with Rule 15c2–12, the Commission received either no comments, or comments that did not include any quantified alternative estimates or that did not include any supporting data. In contrast to those previous comment solicitations, the Commission received comment letters in response to the 60-day Notice that included comments providing specific alternative estimates of the PRA burdens of Rule 15c2–12 and specific data to support the commenters’ alternative estimates. Based on the new information commenters provided in response to the 60-day Notice, Commission staff is revising many of its hourly burden estimates. It is now estimated that approximately 20,000 issuers, 250 broker-dealers, and the MSRB will spend a total of 621,758 hours per year complying with Rule 15c2–12. Based on data from the MSRB through September 2014 and annualized through December 2014, issuers will submit approximately 62,596 annual filings to the MSRB in 2014. Commission staff estimates that an issuer will require approximately seven hours to prepare and submit annual filings to the MSRB. Therefore, the total annual burden on issuers to prepare and submit 62,596 annual filings to the MSRB is estimated to be 438,172 hours. Based on data from the MSRB through September 2014 and annualized through December 2014, issuers will submit approximately 73,480 event notices to the MSRB in 2014. Commission staff estimates that an issuer will require approximately two hours to prepare and submit event 1 See SEC File No. 270–330, OMB Control No. 3235–0372, 79 FR 68730.
