Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 111 / Friday, June 9, 2023 / Notices understandable, and consistent with relevant laws and regulations.27 The Commission believes that ICC’s addition of Subchapter 26S to its clearing rules helps ensure that ICC’s rules are clear and understandable with respect to its clearance of STSEIC Contracts. Among other things, Subchapter 26S defines relevant terms, provides provisions relevant to STSEIC Contracts, and clarifies how ICC will handle and process certain potential lifecycle and other events in connection with relevant STSEIC Contracts, including a CDS Participant’s merger or affiliation with an Eligible STSEIC Reference Entity and certain ISDA updates to the Relevant Physical Settlement Matrix. Through its provisions, Subchapter 26S provides a reasonable level of certainty related to, and a clear legal basis for, outcomes related to its clearance of STSEIC Contracts. The Commission believes, therefore, that the Proposed Rule Change is consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad–22(e)(1) of the Act.28 IV. Conclusion On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the Proposed Rule Change is consistent with the requirements of the Act, and in particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act and Rule 17Ad–22(e)(1) thereunder.29 It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act that the Proposed Rule Change (SR–ICC–2023– 004) be, and hereby is, approved.30 For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.31 Sherry R.

The title for the collection of information is ‘‘Rule 203–2 (17 CFR 275.203–2) and Form ADV–W (17 CFR 279.2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b).’’ Rule 203– 2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 establishes procedures for an investment adviser to withdraw its registration or pending registration with the Commission. Rule 203–2 requires every person withdrawing from investment adviser registration with the Commission to file Form ADV–W electronically on the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (‘‘IARD’’). The purpose of the information collection is to notify the Commission and the public when an investment adviser withdraws its pending or approved SEC registration. Typically, an investment adviser files a Form ADV–W when it ceases doing business or when it is ineligible to remain registered with the Commission. The potential respondents to this information collection are all investment advisers registered with the Commission or have applications pending with the Commission. The Commission has estimated that compliance with the requirement to complete Form ADV–W imposes a total burden of approximately 0.75 hours (45 minutes) for an adviser filing for full withdrawal and approximately 0.25 hours (15 minutes) for an adviser filing for partial withdrawal. Based on historical filings, the Commission estimates that there are approximately 769 respondents annually filing for full withdrawal and approximately 647 respondents annually filing for partial withdrawal. Based on these estimates, the total estimated annual burden would be 739 hours ((769 respondents PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37913 × .75 hours) + (647 respondents × .25 hours)). Rule 203–2 and Form ADV–W do not require recordkeeping or records retention. The collection of information requirements under the rule and form are mandatory. The information collected pursuant to the rule and Form ADV–W are filings with the Commission. These filings are not kept confidential. 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. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice by July 10, 2023 to (i) MBX.OMB.OIRA.SEC_desk_officer@ omb.eop.gov and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.
