SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-638, OMB Control No. 3235-0687]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Extension:
Rule 239
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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Rule 239 (17 CFR 230.239) provides exemptions under the Securities
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.), the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.) for security-based swaps issued by certain
clearing agencies satisfying certain conditions. The purpose of the
information required by Rule 239 is to make certain information about
security-based swaps that may be cleared by the registered or the
exempt clearing agencies available to eligible contract participants
and other market participants. We estimate that each registered or
exempt clearing agency issuing security-based swaps in its function as
a central counterparty will spend approximately 2 hours each time it
provides or update the information in its agreements relating to
security-based swaps or on its website. We estimate that each
registered or exempt clearing agency will provide or update the
information approximately 20 times per year. In addition, we estimate
that 75% of the 2 hours per response (1.5 hours) is prepared internally
by the clearing agency for a total annual reporting burden of 180 hours
(1.5 hours per response x 20 times x 6 respondents).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of 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.
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.
Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

Assistant Secretary.
