Act.1 The rule requires a Nationally
Recognized Statistical Rating
Organization (‘‘NRSRO’’) to make and
retain certain records relating to its
business and to retain certain other
business records, if such records are
made. The rule also prescribes the time
periods and manner in which all these
records must be retained. There are 9
credit rating agencies registered with the
Commission as NRSROs under section
15E of the Exchange Act, which have
already established the record keeping
policies and procedures required by
Rule 17g–2. Based on staff experience,
NRSROs are estimated to spend a total
industry-wide burden of 2,390 annual
hours to make and retain the
appropriate records.
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 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.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.

Extension:
Joint Standards for Assessing Diversity
Policies and Practices
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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
In accordance with the requirements
of Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act of 2010 (12 U.S.C. 5452), the
Commission joined with the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection, and the National
Credit Union Administration (Agencies)
to develop Joint Standards for Assessing
the Diversity Policies and Practices of
Entities Regulated by the Agencies (Joint
Standards), which were issued through
an interagency policy statement
published in the Federal Register on
June 15, 2015 (80 FR 33016). To
facilitate the collection of information
envisioned by the Joint Standards, the
Commission developed a form entitled
the ‘‘Diversity Assessment Report for
Entities Regulated by the SEC’’
(Diversity Assessment Report).
The Diversity Assessment Report (1)
asks for general information about the
respondent; (2) includes a checklist and
questions relating to the policies and
practices set forth in the Joint
Standards; (3) requests data related to
workforce diversity and supplier
diversity; and (4) provides respondents
with the opportunity to describe their
successful policies and practices for
promoting diversity and inclusion.
The information collection is
voluntary. The Commission may use
information submitted to monitor
progress and trends in the financial
services industry regarding diversity
and inclusion and to identify and
highlight diversity and inclusion
policies and practices that have been
