correction of certain data fields over
others should be prioritized from the
Participants; 14 (8) a one-time report on
the impact of tiered fees on market
liquidity, including an analysis of the
impact of the tiered-fee structure on
Industry Members provision of liquidity
from the Participants; 15 (9) an
assessment of the projected impact of
any Material Systems Change on the
Maximum Error Rate, prior to the
implementation of such Material
Systems Change from the
Participants; 16 (10) an annual
requirement that that the CAT LLC
financials be (i) in compliance with
GAAP, (ii) be audited by an
independent public accounting firm,
and (iii) be made publicly available; 17
(11) a requirement that each Participant
conduct background checks for its
employees and contractors that will use
the CAT System.18
The Commission believes that the
CAT NMS Plan, once fully
implemented, will improve the quality
of the data available to regulators in four
areas that affect the ultimate
effectiveness of core regulatory efforts—
completeness, accuracy, accessibility
and timeliness.19 The improvements in
these data qualities would substantially
improve regulators’ ability to perform
analysis and reconstruction of market
events, and market analysis and
research to inform policy decisions, as
well as perform regulatory activities, in
particular market surveillance,
examinations, investigations, and other
enforcement functions.
The Commission estimates that 1524
respondents 20 will require an aggregate
total of approximately 7,572,610 hours
per year to comply with the collection
of information. The Commission further
estimates that the aggregate cost to
comply with the collection of
information will be approximately
$463,322,593 per year.
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 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
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.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia
