(‘‘PRA’’), the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of extension of the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 19d–3 (17 CFR 240.19d–3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Rule 19d–3 prescribes the form and content of applications to the Commission by persons seeking Commission review of final disciplinary actions against them taken by selfregulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The Commission uses the information provided in the application filed pursuant to Rule 19d–3 to review final actions taken by SROs including: (1) Final disciplinary sanctions; (2) denial or conditioning of membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions or limitations of access to services offered by a SRO or member thereof. It is estimated that approximately 40 respondents will utilize this application procedure annually. This figure is based upon past submissions. It is estimated that each respondent will submit approximately one response. The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d–3 will be approximately eighteen hours. We estimate that approximately 25 firms or natural persons would draft the applications themselves for an aggregate annual hourly burden of 450 (25 × 18), and that 15 would hire outside counsel, at a cost of $7,218 per submission, for an aggregate annual dollar cost burden of $108,270 (15 × $7,218). The filing of an application pursuant to Rule 19d–3 is voluntary and does not require the collection of confidential information. 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.
