SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-015, OMB Control No. 3235-0021]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 6a-3
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 6a-3
(17 CFR 240.6a-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.
78a et seq.) (``Act'').
Section 6 of the Act sets out a framework for the registration and
regulation of national securities exchanges. Under Rule 6a-3, one of
the rules that implements Section 6, a national securities exchange (or
an exchange exempted from registration as a national securities
exchange based on limited trading volume) must provide certain
supplemental information to the Commission, including any material
(including notices, circulars, bulletins, lists, and periodicals)
issued or made generally available to members of, or participants or
subscribers to, the exchange. Rule 6a-3 also requires the exchanges to
file monthly reports that set forth the volume and aggregate dollar
amount of certain securities sold on the exchange each month.
The information required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 6a-3 is designed to enable the Commission to carry out its
statutorily mandated oversight functions and to ensure that registered
and exempt exchanges continue to be in compliance with the Act.
The Commission estimates that each respondent makes approximately
12 such filings on an annual basis. Each response takes approximately
0.5 hours. Currently, 26 respondents (26 national securities exchanges)
are subject to the collection of information requirements of Rule 6a-3.
The Commission estimates that the total time burden for all respondents
is 156 hours per year.
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 OMB Control Number.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by 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.
The public may view and comment on this information collection
