The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Rule 15Ga–2 and Form ABS–15G (17 CFR 249.1400) is used for reports of information required under Rule 15Ga– 1 and Rule 15Ga–2 (17 CFR 240.15Ga– 1) (17 CFR 240.15Ga–2) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Exchange Act Rule 15Ga–1 requires asset-backed securitizers to provide disclosure regarding fulfilled an unfulfilled repurchase requests with respect to asset-backed securities. The purpose of the information collected on Form ABS– 15G is to implement the disclosure requirements of Section 943 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to provide information regarding the use of representations and warranties in the asset-backed securities markets. Rule 15Ga–1 had a one-time reporting requirement that expired on February 14, 2012. We estimate that approximately 2,007 securitizers will file Form ABS–15G annually at estimated (19.307 hours) burden hours per response. In addition, we estimate that 75% of the 19.307 hours per response (14.48 hours) is carried internally by the securitizers for a total annual reporting burden of 29,061 hours (14.48 hours per response × 2,007 responses). Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed collection of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:22 Aug 13, 2024 Jkt 262001 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 within 60 days of this publication by October 15, 2024. 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.
