SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-523, OMB Control No. 3235-0585]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule
206(4)-7
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'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
The title for the collection of information is ``Investment
Advisers Act rule 206(4)-7, 17 CFR 275.206(4)-7, Compliance procedures
and practices.'' This collection of information is found at 17 CFR
275.206(4)-7, and is mandatory. Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act'') requires each investment
adviser registered with the Commission to (1) adopt and implement
written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent
violations of the Advisers Act and its rules, (2) review those
compliance policies and procedures annually, and (3) designate a chief
compliance officer who is responsible for administering the compliance
policies and procedures. The rule is designed to protect investors by
fostering better compliance with the securities laws. The collection of
information under rule 206(4)-7 is necessary to help ensure that
investment advisers maintain comprehensive internal programs that
promote the advisers' compliance with the Advisers Act and its rules.
The Commission's examination and oversight staff may review the
information collected to assess investment advisers' compliance
programs. Responses provided to the Commission pursuant to the rule in
the context of the Commission's examination and oversight program are
generally kept confidential. 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.
The respondents to this information collection are investment
advisers registered with the Commission. Updated data indicate that
there were 15,441 advisers registered with the Commission as of
December 31, 2023. Each respondent would produce one response, per
year. Commission staff has estimated that compliance with rule 206(4)-7
imposes an annual burden of approximately 90 hours per response. Based
on this figure, Commission staff estimates a total annual burden of
1,389,690 hours for this collection of information.
The public may view background documentation for this information
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 within 30 days of publication of this notice
by November 7, 2024 to (i) <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#eba6a9b3c5a4a6a9c5a4a2b9aac5b8aea8b48f8e9880b4848d8d82888e99ab848689c58e849bc58c849d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="713c33295f3e3c335f3e3823305f2234322e1514021a2e1e171718121403311e1c135f141e015f161e07">[email protected]</span></a>
