SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0625]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO

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 soliciting comments on the 
proposed collection of information. Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO set forth 
a process for registration as an NRSRO and ongoing disclosure. Rule 
17g-1 requires the filing of an application on Form NRSRO to register 
as an NRSRO or to register for an additional class of credit ratings. 
Form NRSRO lists the information that must be included in the 
application.
    Currently, there are 11 credit rating agencies registered as NRSROs 
with the Commission. Based on staff experience, the Commission 
estimates that the ongoing annual burden for respondents to comply with 
Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO is 2,322 hours. In addition, the Commission 
estimates an industry-wide annual external cost to NRSROs of $4,840 to 
comply with the requirements.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This cost has been increased by 10 percent since the last 
renewal of the collection of information to account for inflation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated, 
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
