SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-148, OMB Control No. 3235-0133]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17a-19 and 
Form X-17A-19

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 17a-19 (17 CFR 
240.17a-19) and Form X-17A-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(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 17a-19 requires every national securities exchange and 
registered national securities association to file a Form X-17A-19 with 
the Commission and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation 
(``SIPC'') within 5 business days of the initiation, suspension, or 
termination of any member and, when terminating the membership interest 
of any member, to notify that member of its obligation to file 
financial reports as required by Exchange Act Rule 17a-5(b) (17 CFR 
240.17a-5(b)). There are currently a total of 25 national securities 
exchanges and registered national securities associations that are 
potential respondents under the rule.
    Commission staff anticipates that the national securities exchanges 
and registered national securities associations collectively will make 
420 total filings annually pursuant to Rule 17a-19 and that each filing 
will take approximately 15 minutes. The total reporting burden is 
estimated to be approximately 105 total annual hours.
    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 
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 
September 29, 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.
    Please direct your written comments 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:

Deputy Secretary.
