Implementing the Whistleblower
Provisions of Section 21F of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934—Form
TCR and Form WB–APP, OMB Control
No. 3235–0686, SEC File No. 270–625.
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
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit an extension for this
current collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
approval.
In Release No. 34–64545,1 the
Commission adopted rules (‘‘Rules’’)
and forms to implement Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
entitled ‘‘Securities Whistleblower
Incentives and Protection,’’ which was
created by Section 922 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’).2
The Rules describe the whistleblower
program that the Commission has
established pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
Act which requires the Commission to
pay an award, subject to certain
24 17
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).
of the Whistleblower Provisions
of Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, Release No. 34–64545; File No. S7–33–10
(adopted May 25, 2011).

limitations and conditions, to
whistleblowers who voluntarily provide
the Commission with original
information about a violation of the
federal securities laws that leads to the
successful enforcement of a covered
judicial or administrative action, or of a
related action. The Rules define certain
terms critical to the operation of the
whistleblower program, outline the
procedures for applying for awards and
the Commission’s procedures for
making decisions on claims, and
generally explain the scope of the
whistleblower program to the public
and to potential whistleblowers.
Form TCR is a form submitted by
whistleblowers who wish to provide
information to the Commission and its
staff regarding potential violations of the
securities laws. Form TCR is required
for submission of information under the
Rules. The Commission estimates that it
takes a whistleblower, on average, one
and one-half hours to complete Form
TCR. Based on the receipt of
approximately 700 annual responses on
average for the past three fiscal years,
the Commission estimates that the
annual PRA burden of Form TCR is
1,050 hours.
Form WB–APP is a form that is
submitted by whistleblowers filing a
claim for a whistleblower award. Form
WB–APP is required for application for
an award under the Rules. The
Commission estimates that it takes a
whistleblower, on average, two hours to
complete Form WB–APP. The
completion time depends largely on the
complexity of the alleged violation and
the amount of information the
whistleblower possesses in support of
his or her application for an award.
Based on the receipt of approximately
150 annual responses on average for the
past three fiscal years, the Commission
estimates that the annual PRA burden of
Form WB–APP is 300 hours. The total
estimated annual reporting burden for
Form TCR and Form WB–APP is 1,350
hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this 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 imposed
by 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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
