SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Extension: Rule 17g-8 & 9; OMB Control No. 3235-0693]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
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 (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 17g-
8 and 17g-9 (17 CFR 240.17g-8 and 9) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
Rule 17g-8 contains certain requirements for Nationally Recognized
Statistical Rating Organizations (``NRSROs'') to have policies and
procedures with respect to the procedures and methodologies the NRSRO
uses to determine credit ratings, with respect to the symbols, numbers,
or scores it uses to denote credit ratings, to address instances in
which a look-back review determines that a conflict of interest
influenced a credit rating, and to consider certain prescribed factors
for an effective internal structure. Rule 17g-9 contains requirements
for NRSROs to ensure that any person employed by an NRSRO to determine
credit ratings meets standards necessary to produce accurate ratings.
Currently, there are 9 credit rating agencies registered as NRSROs with
the Commission. The Commission estimates that the total burden for
respondents to comply with Rule 17g-8 is 1,305 hours and to comply with
Rule 17g-9 is 32,335 hours.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
