On December 29, 2021, the Postal Service filed its FY 2021 Annual Report to Congress in Docket No. ACR2021.1 The FY 2021 Annual Report includes the Postal Service’s FY 2021 annual performance report (FY 2021 Report) and FY 2022 annual performance plan (FY 2022 Plan). FY 2021 Annual Report at 32–53. The FY 2022 Plan reviews the Postal Service’s plans for FY 2022. The FY 2021 Report discusses the Postal Service’s progress during FY 2021 toward its four performance goals: • High-Quality Service • Excellent Customer Experiences • Safe Workplace and Engaged Workforce • Financial Health Each year, the Commission must evaluate whether the Postal Service met the performance goals established in the annual performance plan and annual performance report. 39 U.S.C. 3653(d). The Commission may also ‘‘provide recommendations to the Postal Service related to the protection or promotion of public policy objectives set out in’’ title 39. Id. Since Docket No. ACR2013, the Commission has evaluated whether the Postal Service met its performance goals in reports separate from the Annual Compliance Determination.2 The Commission continues this current practice to provide a more in-depth analysis of the Postal Service’s progress toward meeting its performance goals and plans to improve performance in future years. To facilitate this review, the Commission invites public comment on the following issues: • Did the Postal Service meet its performance goals in FY 2021? • Do the FY 2021 Report and the FY 2022 Plan meet applicable statutory requirements, including 39 U.S.C. 2803 and 2804? • What recommendations should the Commission provide to the Postal Service that relate to protecting or promoting public policy objectives in title 39? • For the Excellent Customer Experience performance goal, are there any customer experience (CX) metrics the Postal Service should add to measure CX? 3 • What recommendations or observations should the Commission make concerning the Postal Service’s strategic initiatives? 4 • What other matters are relevant to the Commission’s analysis of the FY 2021 Report and the FY 2022 Plan under 39 U.S.C. 3653(d)? II. Request for Comments Comments by interested persons are due no later than March 1, 2022. Reply comments are due no later than March 15, 2022. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Katalin K.

Rule 17f–1(c) requires approximately 10,100 entities in the securities industry to report lost, stolen, missing, or counterfeit securities certificates to the Commission or its designee, to a registered transfer agent for the issue, and, when criminal activity is suspected, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such entities are required to use Form X–17F–1A to make such reports. Filing these reports fulfills a statutory requirement that reporting institutions report and inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen securities. Since these reports are compiled in a central database, the rule facilitates reporting institutions to access the database that stores information for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program. We estimate that 10,100 reporting institutions will report that securities certificates are either missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen annually and that each reporting institution will submit this report 30 times each year. The staff estimates that the average amount of time necessary to comply with Rule 17f–1(c) and Form X17F–1A is five minutes per submission. The total burden is approximately 25,250 hours annually for the entire industry (10,100 times 30 times 5 divided by 60). Rule 17f–1(c) is a reporting rule and does not specify a retention period. The rule requires an incident-based reporting requirement by the reporting institutions when securities certificates are discovered to be missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen. Registering under Rule 17f–1(c) is mandatory to obtain the benefit of a central database that stores information about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen securities for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program. Reporting institutions required to register under Rule 17f–1(c) will not be kept confidential; however, the Lost and Stolen Securities Program database will be kept confidential. 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; Extension: Rule 17f-

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

    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 17f-
1(c) (17 CFR 240.17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A (17 CFR 249.100) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17f-1(c) requires approximately 10,100 entities in the 
securities industry to report lost, stolen, missing, or counterfeit 
securities certificates to the Commission or its designee, to a 
registered transfer agent for the issue, and, when criminal activity is 
suspected, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such entities are 
required to use Form X-17F-1A to make such reports. Filing these 
reports fulfills a statutory requirement that reporting institutions 
report and inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen 
securities. Since these reports are compiled in a central database, the 
rule facilitates reporting institutions to access the database that 
stores information for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program.
    We estimate that 10,100 reporting institutions will report that 
securities certificates are either missing, lost, counterfeit, or 
stolen annually and that each reporting institution will submit this 
report 30 times each year. The staff estimates that the average amount 
of time necessary to comply with Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X17F-1A is five 
minutes per submission. The total burden is approximately 25,250 hours 
annually for the entire industry (10,100 times 30 times 5 divided by 
60).
    Rule 17f-1(c) is a reporting rule and does not specify a retention 
period. The rule requires an incident-based reporting requirement by 
the reporting institutions when securities certificates are discovered 
to be missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen. Registering under Rule 
17f-1(c) is mandatory to obtain the benefit of a central database that 
stores information about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen 
securities for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program. Reporting 
institutions required to register under Rule 17f-1(c) will not be kept 
confidential; however, the Lost and Stolen Securities Program database 
will be kept confidential.
    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.
