The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Form F–3 (17 CFR 239.33) is used by foreign issuers to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The information collected is intended to ensure that the information required to be filed by the Commission permits verification of compliance with securities law requirements and assures the public VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:40 Nov 04, 2021 Jkt 256001 availability of such information. Form F–3 takes approximately 157.84 hours per response and is filed by approximately 113 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 157.84 hours per response (39.46 hours) is prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 4,459 hours (39.46 hours per response × 113 responses). 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. The public may view background documentation for this information collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [SEC File No. 270–433, OMB Control No. 3235–0489] 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 20549–2736 Extension: Rule 17a–6 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 extension of the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17a–6 (17 CFR 240.17a–6) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Rule 17a–6 permits national securities exchanges, national securities PO 00000 Frm 00259 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 61371 associations, registered clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’) (collectively, ‘‘SROs’’) to destroy or convert to microfilm or other recording media records maintained under Rule 17a–1, if they have filed a record destruction plan with the Commission and the Commission has declared such plan effective. There are currently 35 SROs: 24 national securities exchanges, 1 national securities association, the MSRB, and 9 registered clearing agencies. Of the 35 SROs, only 2 SRO respondents have filed a record destruction plan with the Commission. The staff calculates that the preparation and filing of a new record destruction plan should take 160 hours. Further, any existing SRO record destruction plans may require revision, over time, in response to, for example, changes in document retention technology, which the Commission estimates will take much less than the 160 hours estimated for a new plan. The Commission estimates that each SRO that has filed a destruction plan will spend approximately 30 hours per year making required revisions. Thus, the total annual time burden is estimated to be approximately 60 hours per year based on two respondents (30 × 2). The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is $428, resulting in a total internal cost of compliance for these respondents of approximately $25,680 per year (60 hours at $428 per hour). 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.

Extension:
    Rule 17a-6

    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 extension of the previously approved 
collection of information provided for in Rule 17a-6 (17 CFR 240.17a-6) 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17a-6 permits national securities exchanges, national 
securities associations, registered clearing agencies, and the 
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (``MSRB'') (collectively, 
``SROs'') to destroy or convert to microfilm or other recording media 
records maintained under Rule 17a-1, if they have filed a record 
destruction plan with the Commission and the Commission has declared 
such plan effective.
    There are currently 35 SROs: 24 national securities exchanges, 1 
national securities association, the MSRB, and 9 registered clearing 
agencies. Of the 35 SROs, only 2 SRO respondents have filed a record 
destruction plan with the Commission. The staff calculates that the 
preparation and filing of a new record destruction plan should take 160 
hours. Further, any existing SRO record destruction plans may require 
revision, over time, in response to, for example, changes in document 
retention technology, which the Commission estimates will take much 
less than the 160 hours estimated for a new plan. The Commission 
estimates that each SRO that has filed a destruction plan will spend 
approximately 30 hours per year making required revisions. Thus, the 
total annual time burden is estimated to be approximately 60 hours per 
year based on two respondents (30 x 2). The approximate internal 
compliance cost per hour is $428, resulting in a total internal cost of 
compliance for these respondents of approximately $25,680 per year (60 
hours at $428 per hour).
    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.

collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
