SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-189, OMB Control No. 3235-0201]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17a-2
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'') 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 17a-
2 (17 CFR 240.17a-2), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17a-2 requires underwriters to maintain information regarding
stabilizing activities conducted in accordance with Rule 104 of
Regulation M. The collections of information under Regulation M and
Rule 17a-2 are necessary for covered persons to obtain certain benefits
or to comply with certain requirements. The collections of information
are necessary to provide the Commission with information regarding
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids. The Commission may
review this information during periodic examinations or with respect to
investigations. Except for the information required to be kept under
Rule 104(i) (17 CFR 242.104(i)) and Rule 17a-2(c), none of the
information required to be collected or disclosed for PRA purposes will
be kept confidential. The recordkeeping requirement of Rule 17a-2
requires the information be maintained in a separate file, or in a
separately retrievable format, for a period of three years, the first
two years in an easily accessible place, consistent with the
requirements of Exchange Act Rule 17a-4(f) (17 CFR 240.17a-4(f)).
There are approximately 1,211 respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of approximately 6,055 hours to comply with this rule.
Each respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response
takes approximately 5 hours to complete. Thus, the total hour burden
per year is approximately 6,055 hours. The total internal compliance
cost for the respondents is approximately $490,455 per year, resulting
in an internal cost of compliance for each respondent per response of
approximately $405 (i.e., $490,455/1,211 responses).
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.

collection at the following website: <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent by May 22, 2023 to (i) <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information
