(‘‘Exchange Act’’). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Rule 17Ad–4(b) & (c) (17 CFR 240.17Ad–4) is used to document when transfer agents are exempt, or no longer exempt, from the minimum performance standards and certain recordkeeping provisions of the Commission’s transfer agent rules. Pursuant to Rule 17Ad–4(b), if the Commission or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (‘‘OCC’’) is the appropriate regulatory authority (‘‘ARA’’) for an exempt transfer agent, that transfer agent is required to prepare and maintain in its possession a notice certifying that it is exempt from certain performance standards and recordkeeping and record retention provisions of the Commission’s transfer agent rules. This notice need not be filed with the Commission or OCC. If the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (‘‘Fed’’) or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’) is the transfer agent’s ARA, that transfer agent must prepare a notice and file it with the Fed or FDIC. Rule 17Ad–4(c) sets forth the conditions under which a registered transfer agent loses its exempt status. Once the conditions for exemption no longer exist, the transfer agent, to keep the appropriate ARA apprised of its current status, must prepare, and file if the ARA for the transfer agent is the Fed or the FDIC, a notice of loss of exempt status under paragraph (c). The transfer agent then cannot claim exempt status under Rule 17Ad–4(b) again until it remains subject to the minimum performance standards for non-exempt transfer agents for six consecutive months. ARAs use the information contained in the notices required by Rules 17Ad– 4(b) and 17Ad–4(c) to determine whether a registered transfer agent qualifies for the exemption, to PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 determine when a registered transfer agent no longer qualifies for the exemption, and to determine the extent to which that transfer agent is subject to regulation. The Commission estimates that approximately 10 registered transfer agents each year prepare or file notices in compliance with Rules 17Ad–4(b) and 17Ad–4(c). The Commission estimates that each such registered transfer agent spends approximately 1.5 hours to prepare or file such notices for an aggregate total annual burden of 15 hours (based on approximately 1.5 burden hours per year for the approximately 10 transfer agents). The Commission also estimates the aggregate annual internal cost of compliance for the 10 registered transfer agents is approximately $4.785 (based on 1.5 hours annual burden × $319 hourly wage × 10 respondents). This reflects an increase in aggregate annual internal cost of compliance of $540 due to the increase in the hourly wage of transfer agents from $283 to $319. 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 October 22, 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. Please direct your written comments to: Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Oluwaseun Ajayi, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to: PRA_ Mailbox@sec.gov. Dated: August 19, 2024. Vanessa A. Countryman, Secretary. [FR Doc. 2024–18918 Filed 8–22–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8011–01–P E:\FR\FM\23AUN1.SGM 23AUN1
