SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-646, OMB Control No. 3235-0695]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17Ad-22
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 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 17Ad-22 (17 CFR
240.17Ad-22) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange
Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 17Ad-22 was adopted to strengthen the substantive regulation
of clearing agencies, promote the safe and reliable operation of
covered clearing agencies, and improve efficiency, transparency, and
access to covered clearing agencies.\1\ Rule 17Ad-22, which consists of
paragraphs (a)(1) through (e)(23), requires a registered clearing
agency to establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies
and procedures reasonably designed to address a number of topics,
including governance, operations, and risk management. In particular,
Rule 17Ad-22(e) includes requirements for covered clearing agencies,
defined as registered clearing agencies that provide the services of a
central counterparty or central securities depository; Rule 17Ad-22(d)
includes requirements for all registered clearing agencies that are not
covered clearing agencies; and Rules 17Ad-22(b) and (c) include certain
other requirements for clearing agencies that perform central
counterparty services. The total estimated annual time burden of Rule
17Ad-22 is 8,532 hours, and the total estimated annual cost burden is
$14,041,280.

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 will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission staff's
estimates of the burden of the proposed 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
January 3, 2023.
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.
