Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 authorizes transfer agents registered with an appropriate regulatory agency (‘‘ARA’’) to withdraw from registration by filing with the ARA a written notice of withdrawal and by agreeing to such terms and conditions as the ARA deems necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or in the furtherance of the purposes of Section 17A. In order to implement Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Exchange Act, the Commission promulgated Rule 17Ac3– 1(a) and accompanying Form TA–W on September 1, 1977. Rule 17Ac3–1(a) provides that notice of withdrawal of registration as a transfer agent with the Commission shall be filed on Form TA– W. Form TA–W requires the withdrawing transfer agent to provide the Commission with certain information, including: (1) The 11 17 PO 00000 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 locations where transfer agent activities are or were performed; (2) the reasons for ceasing the performance of such activities; (3) disclosure of unsatisfied judgments or liens; and (4) information regarding successor transfer agents. The Commission uses the information disclosed on Form TA–W to determine whether the registered transfer agent applying for withdrawal from registration as a transfer agent should be allowed to deregister and, if so, whether the Commission should attach to the granting of the application any terms or conditions necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or in furtherance of the purposes of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. Without Rule 17Ac3–1(a) and Form TA–W, transfer agents registered with the Commission would not have a means to voluntarily deregister when it is necessary or appropriate to do so. On average, respondents have filed approximately 58 TA–Ws with the Commission annually from 2017 to 2020. A Form TA–W filing occurs only once, when a transfer agent is seeking deregistration. In view of the readilyavailable information requested by Form TA–W, its short and simple presentation, and the Commission’s experience with the filers, we estimate that approximately 30 minutes is required to complete and file Form TA– W. Thus, the total annual time burden to the transfer agent industry is approximately 29 hours (58 filings × 0.5 hours). We estimate that the internal labor cost of compliance per filing is approximately $35.5 (0.5 hours × $71 average hourly rate for clerical staff time). The total internal compliance cost per year is thus approximately $1,030 (29 × $35.5 = $1029.5 rounded up to $1,030). 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.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

Extension:
    Rule 17Ac3-1(a) and Form TA-W; [SEC File No. 270-96, OMB Control 
No. 3235-0151]

    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 
17Ac3-1(a) (17 CFR 240.17Ac3-1(a)) and Form TA-W (17 CFR 249b.101), 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
authorizes transfer agents registered with an appropriate regulatory 
agency (``ARA'') to withdraw from registration by filing with the ARA a 
written notice of withdrawal and by agreeing to such terms and 
conditions as the ARA deems necessary or appropriate in the public 
interest, for the protection of investors, or in the furtherance of the 
purposes of Section 17A.
    In order to implement Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Exchange Act, the 
Commission promulgated Rule 17Ac3-1(a) and accompanying Form TA-W on 
September 1, 1977. Rule 17Ac3-1(a) provides that notice of withdrawal 
of registration as a transfer agent with the Commission shall be filed 
on Form TA-W. Form TA-W requires the withdrawing transfer agent to 
provide the Commission with certain information, including: (1) The 
locations where transfer agent activities are or were performed; (2) 
the reasons for ceasing the performance of such activities; (3) 
disclosure of unsatisfied judgments or liens; and (4) information 
regarding successor transfer agents.
    The Commission uses the information disclosed on Form TA-W to 
determine whether the registered transfer agent applying for withdrawal 
from registration as a transfer agent should be allowed to deregister 
and, if so, whether the Commission should attach to the granting of the 
application any terms or conditions necessary or appropriate in the 
public interest, for the protection of investors, or in furtherance of 
the purposes of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. Without Rule 17Ac3-
1(a) and Form TA-W, transfer agents registered with the Commission 
would not have a means to voluntarily deregister when it is necessary 
or appropriate to do so.
    On average, respondents have filed approximately 58 TA-Ws with the 
Commission annually from 2017 to 2020. A Form TA-W filing occurs only 
once, when a transfer agent is seeking deregistration. In view of the 
readily-available information requested by Form TA-W, its short and 
simple presentation, and the Commission's experience with the filers, 
we estimate that approximately 30 minutes is required to complete and 
file Form TA-W. Thus, the total annual time burden to the transfer 
agent industry is approximately 29 hours (58 filings x 0.5 hours). We 
estimate that the internal labor cost of compliance per filing is 
approximately $35.5 (0.5 hours x $71 average hourly rate for clerical 
staff time). The total internal compliance cost per year is thus 
approximately $1,030 (29 x $35.5 = $1029.5 rounded up to $1,030).
    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.
