Extension: Rule 12f–3, SEC File No. 270–141,
OMB Control No. 3235–0249.
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 12f–3 (17 CFR
240.12f–3), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C.
78a et seq.). The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of
information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 12f–3 (‘‘Rule’’), which was
originally adopted in 1955 pursuant to
Sections 12(f) and 23(a) of the Act, and
as further modified in 1995, sets forth
the requirements to submit an
application to the Commission for
termination or suspension of unlisted
trading privileges in a security, as
contemplated under Section 12(f)(4) of
the Act. In addition to requiring that one
copy of the application be filed with the
Commission, the Rule requires that the
application contain specified
information. Under the Rule, an
application to suspend or terminate
unlisted trading privileges must
provide, among other things, the name
of the applicant; a brief statement of the
applicant’s interest in the question of
termination or suspension of such
unlisted trading privileges; the title of
the security; the name of the issuer;
certain information regarding the size of

the class of security, the public trading
volume and price history in the security
for specified time periods on the subject
exchange and a statement indicating
that the applicant has provided a copy
of such application to the exchange
from which the suspension or
termination of unlisted trading
privileges are sought, and to any other
exchange on which the security is listed
or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges.
The information required to be
included in applications submitted
pursuant to Rule 12f–3, is intended to
provide the Commission with sufficient
information to make the necessary
findings under the Act to terminate or
suspend by order the unlisted trading
privileges granted a security on a
national securities exchange. Without
the Rule, the Commission would be
unable to fulfill these statutory
responsibilities.
The burden of complying with Rule
12f–3 arises when a potential
respondent, having a demonstrable bona
fide interest in the question of
termination or suspension of the
unlisted trading privileges of a security,
determines to seek such termination or
suspension. The staff estimates that
each such application to terminate or
suspend unlisted trading privileges
requires approximately one hour to
complete. Thus each potential
respondent would incur on average one
burden hour in complying with the
Rule.
The Commission staff estimates that
there could be as many as 18 responses
annually for an aggregate burden for all
respondents of 18 hours. Each
respondent’s related internal cost of
compliance for Rule 12f–3 would be
$221.00, or, the cost of one hour of
professional work of a paralegal needed
to complete the application. The total
annual cost of compliance for all
potential respondents, therefore, is
$3,978.00 (18 responses × $221.00/
response).
Compliance with the application
requirements of Rule 12f–3 is
mandatory, though the filing of such
applications is undertaken voluntarily.
Rule 12f–3 does not have a record
retention requirement per se. However,
responses made pursuant to Rule 12f–3
are subject to the recordkeeping
requirements of Rules 17a–3 and 17a–4
of the Act. Information received in
response to Rule 12f–3 shall not be kept
confidential; the information collected
is public information.
Written comments are invited on: (a)

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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Extension: Rule 12f-3, SEC File No. 270-141, OMB Control No. 3235-

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 12f-3 (17 CFR 240.12f-

the name of the applicant; a brief statement of the applicant's

trading privileges; the title of the security; the name of the issuer;
certain information regarding the size of the class of security, the

the applicant has provided a copy of such application to the exchange
from which the suspension or termination of unlisted trading privileges
are sought, and to any other exchange on which the security is listed

The information required to be included in applications submitted
pursuant to Rule 12f-3, is intended to provide the Commission with
sufficient information to make the necessary findings under the Act to
