SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0208]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17a-1
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 (SEC or ``Commission'') is submitting to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') this request for an extension of the
proposed collection of information in Rule 17a-1.
Rule 17a-1 (17 CFR 240.17a-1) requires that every national
securities exchange, national securities association, registered
clearing agency, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board keep on
file for a period of not less than five years, the first two years in
an easily accessible place, at least one copy of all documents,
including all correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, notices,
accounts, and other such records made or received by it in the course
of its business as such and in the conduct of its self-regulatory
activity,
[[Page 51799]]
and that such documents be available for examination by the Commission.
There are 38 entities required to comply with the rule: 28 national
securities exchanges, 1 national securities association, 8 registered
clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The
Commission staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary
for compliance with the requirements of Rule 17a-1 by each entity is 52
hours per year. In addition, 3 national securities exchanges notice-
registered pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(g)) are
required to preserve records of determinations made under Rule 3a55-1
under the Act (17 CFR 240.3a55-1), which the Commission staff estimates
will take 1 hour per exchange per year, for a total of 3 hours per
year. Accordingly, the Commission staff estimates that the total number
of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 17a-1 is
1,979 hours per year.
The collection of information is mandatory and is kept confidential
as permitted by the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 et seq).
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.
