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–2(c) (17 CFR 240.17f–2(c)), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Rule 17f–2(c) allows persons required to be fingerprinted pursuant to Section 17(f)(2) of the Act to submit their fingerprints to the Attorney General of the United States or its designee (i.e., the Federal Bureau of Investigation (‘‘FBI’’)) through a registered national securities exchange or a registered national securities association (collectively, also known as ‘‘selfregulatory organizations’’ or ‘‘SROs’’) pursuant to a fingerprint plan filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission. Fingerprint plans have been approved for the American, Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia stock exchanges and for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Currently, the bulk of the fingerprints are submitted through FINRA. It is estimated that 3,800 respondents submit approximately 278,455 sets of fingerprints (consisting of approximately 258,646 electronic sets and 19,809 hard copy sets) to SROs on an annual basis. The Commission estimates that it takes approximately 15 minutes to create and submit each fingerprint card. The total time burden is therefore estimated to be approximately 69,614 hours per year. In addition, the SROs charge an estimated $31 fee for processing fingerprint cards submitted electronically, resulting in a total annual cost to all 3,800 respondents of approximately $8,018,026 per year. The SROs charge an estimated $41 fee for processing fingerprint cards submitted in hard copy, resulting in a total annual cost to all 3,800 respondents of approximately $812,169 per year. The combined annual cost to all respondents is thus approximately $8,830,195 per year. Because the FBI will not accept fingerprint cards directly from submitting organizations, Commission approval of fingerprint plans from certain SROs is essential to carry out the Congressional goal to fingerprint securities industry personnel. Filing these plans for review assures users and their personnel that fingerprint cards will be handled responsibly and with due care for confidentiality. 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-035, OMB Control No. 3235-0029]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17f-
2(c)

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: 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'') 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-
2(c) (17 CFR 240.17f-2(c)), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17f-2(c) allows persons required to be fingerprinted pursuant 
to Section 17(f)(2) of the Act to submit their fingerprints to the 
Attorney General of the United States or its designee (i.e., the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation (``FBI'')) through a registered 
national securities exchange or a registered national securities 
association (collectively, also known as ``self-regulatory 
organizations'' or ``SROs'') pursuant to a fingerprint plan filed with, 
and declared effective by, the Commission. Fingerprint plans have been 
approved for the American, Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia 
stock exchanges and for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority 
(``FINRA'') and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Currently, the bulk 
of the fingerprints are submitted through FINRA.
    It is estimated that 3,800 respondents submit approximately 278,455 
sets of fingerprints (consisting of approximately 258,646 electronic 
sets and 19,809 hard copy sets) to SROs on an annual basis. The 
Commission estimates that it takes approximately 15 minutes to create 
and submit each fingerprint card. The total time burden is therefore 
estimated to be approximately 69,614 hours per year.
    In addition, the SROs charge an estimated $31 fee for processing 
fingerprint cards submitted electronically, resulting in a total annual 
cost to all 3,800 respondents of approximately $8,018,026 per year. The 
SROs charge an estimated $41 fee for processing fingerprint cards 
submitted in hard copy, resulting in a total annual cost to all 3,800 
respondents of approximately $812,169 per year. The combined annual 
cost to all respondents is thus approximately $8,830,195 per year.
    Because the FBI will not accept fingerprint cards directly from 
submitting organizations, Commission approval of fingerprint plans from 
certain SROs is essential to carry out the Congressional goal to 
fingerprint securities industry personnel. Filing these plans for 
review assures users and their personnel that fingerprint cards will be 
handled responsibly and with due care for confidentiality.
