the inappropriate dissemination of a
pending credit rating action.2
There are 10 credit rating agencies
registered with the Commission as
NRSROs under section 15E of the
Exchange Act, which have already
established the policies and procedures
required by Rule 17g–4. Based on staff
experience, an NRSRO is estimated to
spend an average of approximately 10
hours per year reviewing its policies
and procedures regarding material
nonpublic information and updating
them (if necessary), resulting in an
average industry-wide annual hour
burden of approximately 100 hours.3
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; 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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 100 F St. NE., Washington, DC

It appears to the Commission that
there is a lack of current and accurate

Bravo Resource Partners, Ltd.
(‘‘BRPNF’’) (CIK No. 1116137), a Yukon

October 31, 2011. On April 22, 2015,
Corporation Finance sent a delinquency
letter to BRPNF requesting compliance
with its periodic filing requirements but
BRPNF did not receive the delinquency
letter due to its failure to maintain a
valid address on file with the
Commission as required by Commission
rules (Rule 301 of Regulation S–T, 17
CFR 232.301 and Section 5.4 of EDGAR
Filer Manual). As of December 9, 2015,
the common stock of BRPNF was quoted
on OTC Link, had two market makers,
and was eligible for the ‘‘piggyback’’
exception of Exchange Act Rule 15c2–
11(f)(3).
