Rule 611
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’’) 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 611 (17 CFR 242.611) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
On June 9, 2005, effective August 29,
2005 (see 70 FR 37496, June 29, 2005),
the Commission adopted Rule 611 of
Regulation NMS under the Exchange
Act to require any national securities
exchange, national securities
association, alternative trading system,
exchange market maker, over-thecounter market maker, and any other
broker-dealer that executes orders
internally by trading as principal or
crossing orders as agent, to establish,
maintain, and enforce written policies
and procedures reasonably designed to
prevent the execution of a transaction in
its market at a price that is inferior to
a bid or offer displayed in another
12 17

CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

market at the time of execution (a
‘‘trade-though’’), absent an applicable
exception and, if relying on an
exception, that are reasonably designed
to assure compliance with the terms of
the exception. Without this collection of
information, respondents would not
have a means to enforce compliance
with the Commission’s intention to
prevent trade-throughs pursuant to the
rule.
There are approximately 366
respondents 1 per year that will require
an aggregate total of approximately
21,960 hours per year to comply with
this Rule. It is anticipated that each
respondent will continue to expend
approximately 60 hours annually: Two
hours per month of internal legal time
and three hours per month of internal
compliance time to ensure that its
written policies and procedures are upto-date and remain in compliance with
Rule 611. The estimated cost for an inhouse attorney is $396 per hour and the
estimated cost for an assistant
compliance director in the securities
industry is $349 per hour. Therefore the
estimated total internal cost of
compliance for the annual hour burden
is as follows: [(2 legal hours × 12 months
× $396) × 366] + [(3 compliance hours
× 12 months × $349) × 366] =
$8,076,888.2
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.

1 This estimate includes 17 national securities
exchanges that are equity securities exchanges. The
estimate also includes an estimated 318 firms that
are over-the-counter market makers or exchange
market makers, as well as an estimated 31
alternative trading systems that trade NMS stocks.
2 The total cost of compliance for the annual hour
burden has been revised to reflect updated
estimated cost figures for an in-house attorney and
an assistant compliance director. These figures are
from SIFMA’s Management & Professional Earnings
in the Securities Industry 2017, modified by
Commission staff for an 1800-hour work-year and
multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size,
employee benefits, and overhead.

Form 6–K
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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Form 6–K (17 CFR 249.306) is a
disclosure document under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be filed by
a foreign private issuer to report
material information promptly after the
occurrence of specified or other
important corporate events that are
disclosed in the foreign private issuer’s
home country. The purpose of Form 6–
K is to ensure that U.S. investors have
access to the same information that
foreign investors do when making
investment decisions. Form 6–K is a
public document and all information
provided is mandatory. Form 6–K takes
approximately 8.7 hours per response
and is filed by approximately 34,794
issuers annually. We estimate 75% of
the 8.7 hours per response (6.525 hours)
is prepared by the issuer for a total
annual reporting burden of 227,031
hours (6.525 hours per response ×
34,794 responses). The remaining
burden hours are reflected as a cost to
the foreign private issuers.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

Rule 611
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'') 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 611
(17 CFR 242.611) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.
78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
On June 9, 2005, effective August 29, 2005 (see 70 FR 37496, June
29, 2005), the Commission adopted Rule 611 of Regulation NMS under the
Exchange Act to require any national securities exchange, national
securities association, alternative trading system, exchange market
maker, over-the-counter market maker, and any other broker-dealer that
executes orders internally by trading as principal or crossing orders
as agent, to establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to prevent the execution of a
transaction in its market at a price that is inferior to a bid or offer
displayed in another market at the time of execution (a ``trade-
though''), absent an applicable exception and, if relying on an
exception, that are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the
terms of the exception. Without this collection of information,
respondents would not have a means to enforce compliance with the
Commission's intention to prevent trade-throughs pursuant to the rule.
There are approximately 366 respondents \1\ per year that will
require an aggregate total of approximately 21,960 hours per year to
comply with this Rule. It is anticipated that each respondent will
continue to expend approximately 60 hours annually: Two hours per month
of internal legal time and three hours per month of internal compliance
time to ensure that its written policies and procedures are up-to-date
and remain in compliance with Rule 611. The estimated cost for an in-
house attorney is $396 per hour and the estimated cost for an assistant
compliance director in the securities industry is $349 per hour.
Therefore the estimated total internal cost of compliance for the
annual hour burden is as follows: [(2 legal hours x 12 months x $396) x
366] + [(3 compliance hours x 12 months x $349) x 366] = $8,076,888.\2\
