SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-814, OMB Control No. 3235-0764]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 6c-11
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 (the ``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 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ``Act'')
permits exchange-traded funds (``ETFs'') that satisfy certain
conditions to operate without first obtaining an exemptive order from
the Commission. The rule was designed to create a consistent,
transparent, and efficient regulatory framework for ETFs and facilitate
greater competition and innovation among ETFs. Rule 6c-11 requires an
ETF to disclose certain information on its website, to maintain certain
records, and to adopt and implement written policies and procedures
governing its constructions of baskets, as well as written policies and
procedures that set forth detailed parameters for the construction and
acceptance of custom baskets that are in the best interests of the ETF
and its shareholders.
We estimate that the total hour burdens and time costs associated
with rule 6c-11, including the burden associated with reviewing and
updating website disclosures, recordkeeping, and reviewing and updating
policies and procedures, will result in an average aggregate annual
burden of 51,156 hours and an average aggregate time cost of
$1,248,912.
The requirements of this collection of information are mandatory.
If information collected pursuant to rule 6c-11 is reviewed by the
Commission's examination staff, it will be accorded the same level of
confidentiality accorded to other responses provided to the Commission
in the context of its examination and oversight program.
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
estimate of the burden of 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 by November 14, 2022.
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.
