[SEC File No. 270–808, OMB Control No.
3235–0740]
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Joint Standards
for Assessing the Diversity Policies
and Practices of Entities Regulated by
the Agencies
Upon Written Request Copies Available
From: U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
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, and Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection (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. To facilitate the
collection of information envisioned by
the Joint Standards, the Commission
developed a form entitled the ‘‘Diversity
Self-Assessment Tool for Entities
Regulated by the SEC’’ (formerly
referred to as the ‘‘Diversity Assessment
Report’’).
The Diversity Self-Assessment Tool
(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

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 91 / Thursday, May 11, 2023 / Notices
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
successful. In addition, the Commission
may publish information submitted,
such as leading practices, in a form that
does not identify a particular entity or
disclose confidential business
information. Further, the Commission
may share information with other
Agencies, when appropriate, to support
coordination of efforts and to avoid
duplication.
Title of Collection: Joint Standards for
Assessing Diversity Policies and
Practices.
Type of Review: Request for a NonSubstantive Change to an Existing
Approved Information Collection.
Frequency of Response: Biennially.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
260.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Respondent: Reporting: 8 hours; 4 hours
annualized.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,080; 1,040 annualized. Since
the last approval of this information
collection, we have adjusted the burden
hours per respondent based on a
reduction in the number of items in this
information collection.
Proposed Revisions: The SEC
proposes to amend the Diversity SelfAssessment Tool to: (1) change the
name of the information collection from
the ‘‘Diversity Assessment Report’’ to
the ‘‘Diversity Self-Assessment Tool’’;
(2) allow firms to consent to allowing
the SEC to publish the name of
consenting firms having submitted a
Diversity Self-Assessment Tool; (3)
shorten the Diversity Self-Assessment
Tool by combining and removing some
items; (4) add clarifying language to
items; and (5) shorten items for brevity.
A draft of the proposed revised
Diversity Self-Assessment Tool can be
viewed at https://www.sec.gov/files/
omwi-diversity-self-assessment-tool.pdf.
Request for Comments: The comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record. Written comments are
invited on: (a) whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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 60 days after the date of this
publication, July 10, 2023.
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.
