Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Rule 12f–3
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
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 12f–3 (17 CFR
240.12f–3), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C.
78a et seq.). The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of
information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 12f–3 (‘‘Rule’’), which was
originally adopted in 1955 pursuant to
Sections 12(f) and 23(a) of the Act, and
as further modified in 1995, sets forth
the requirements to submit an
application to the Commission for
termination or suspension of unlisted
trading privileges in a security, as
contemplated under Section 12(f)(4) of
the Act. In addition to requiring that one
copy of the application be filed with the
Commission, the Rule requires that the
application contain specified

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 14, 2024 / Notices
information. Under the Rule, an
application to suspend or terminate
unlisted trading privileges must
provide, among other things, the name
of the applicant, a brief statement of the
applicant’s interest in the question of
termination or suspension of such
unlisted trading privileges, the title of
the security, the name of the issuer,
certain information regarding the size of
the class of security, the public trading
volume and price history in the security
for specified time periods on the subject
exchange, and a statement indicating
that the applicant has provided a copy
of such application to the exchange
from which the suspension or
termination of unlisted trading
privileges are sought and to any other
exchange on which the security is listed
or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges.
The information required to be
included in applications submitted
pursuant to Rule 12f–3 is intended to
provide the Commission with sufficient
information to make the necessary
findings under the Act to terminate or
suspend by order the unlisted trading
privileges granted a security on a
national securities exchange. Without
the Rule, the Commission would be
unable to fulfill these statutory
responsibilities.
The burden of complying with Rule
12f–3 arises when a potential
respondent, having a demonstrable bona
fide interest in the question of
termination or suspension of the
unlisted trading privileges of a security,
determines to seek such termination or
suspension. The staff estimates that
each such application to terminate or
suspend unlisted trading privileges
requires approximately one hour to
complete. Thus each potential
respondent would incur on average one
burden hour in complying with the
Rule.
The Commission staff estimates that
there could be as many as 24 responses
annually for an aggregate burden for all
respondents of 24 hours. Each
respondent’s related internal cost of
compliance for Rule 12f–3 would be
$242, or the cost of one hour of
professional work of a paralegal needed
to complete the application. The total
annual internal cost of compliance for
all potential respondents, therefore, is
$5,808 (24 responses × $242/response).
Compliance with the application
requirements of Rule 12f–3 is
mandatory, though the filing of such
applications is undertaken voluntarily.
Rule 12f–3 does not have a record
retention requirement per se. However,
responses made pursuant to Rule 12f–3
are subject to the recordkeeping

requirements of Rules 17a–3 and 17a–4
of the Act. Information received in
response to Rule 12f–3 shall not be kept
confidential; the information collected
is public information.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; 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 by
April 15, 2024.
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.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to harmonize
Rules 10.9261 and 10.9830 to permit
video conference hearings under
specified conditions in conformity with
recent changes by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’).
The proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange’s website at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
self-regulatory organization included
statements concerning the purpose of,
and basis for, the proposed rule change
and discussed any comments it received
on the proposed rule change. The text
of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to harmonize
Rules 10.9261 (Evidence and Procedure
in Hearing) and 10.9830 (Hearing) to
permit video conference hearings under
specified conditions in conformity with
recent changes by FINRA.
Background
In 2022, NYSE Chicago adopted
disciplinary rules that are, with certain
exceptions, substantially the same as the
disciplinary rules of its affiliate NYSE
Arca, Inc., which are in turn
substantially similar to the FINRA Rule
8000 Series and Rule 9000 Series, and
which set forth rules for conducting
investigations and enforcement actions.4
In adopting disciplinary rules
modeled on FINRA’s rules, the
Exchange adopted the hearing and

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 12f-3
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 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 12f-3 (17 CFR 240.12f-
3), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of
information to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for
extension and approval.
Rule 12f-3 (``Rule''), which was originally adopted in 1955
pursuant to Sections 12(f) and 23(a) of the Act, and as further
modified in 1995, sets forth the requirements to submit an application

unlisted trading privileges must provide, among other things, the name

question of termination or suspension of such unlisted trading
privileges, the title of the security, the name of the issuer, certain

periods on the subject exchange, and a statement indicating that the
applicant has provided a copy of such application to the exchange from

estimates that each such application to terminate or suspend unlisted
