Download as PDF ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES 56320 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 28, 2017 / Notices (collectively, also known as ‘‘selfregulatory organizations’’ or ‘‘SROs’’) pursuant to a fingerprint plan filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission. Fingerprint plans have been approved for the American, Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia stock exchanges and for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Currently, the bulk of the fingerprints are submitted through FINRA. It is estimated that 4,200 respondents submit approximately 285,600 sets of fingerprints (consisting of approximately 243,600 electronic sets and 42,000 hard copy sets) to SROs on an annual basis. The Commission estimates that it would take approximately 15 minutes to create and submit each fingerprint card. The total reporting burden is therefore estimated to be approximately 71,400 hours, or approximately 15 hours per respondent, annually. In addition, the SROs charge an estimated $25.00 fee for processing fingerprint cards submitted electronically, resulting in a total annual cost to all 4,200 respondents of $6,090,000, or $1,450 per respondent per year. The SROs charge an estimated $40.00 fee for processing fingerprint cards submitted in hard copy, resulting in a total annual cost to all 4,200 respondents of approximately $1,680,000, or $400 per respondent per year. The combined annual cost to all respondents is thus $7,770,000. Because the FBI will not accept fingerprint cards directly from submitting organizations, Commission approval of fingerprint plans from certain SROs is essential to carry out the Congressional goal to fingerprint securities industry personnel. Filing these plans for review assures users and their personnel that fingerprint cards will be handled responsibly and with due care for confidentiality.
