Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Some of the estimated PRA burdens will change as a result of the proposal of new Rule 17Ad-22(e). Specifically, the PRA burdens associated with portions of Rule 17Ad-22(d) have been reduced to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents that would be subject to the provisions of those rules. Prior to the proposal of Rule 17Ad-22(e), the Commission estimated that seven respondent clearing agencies would be subject to the PRA burdens associated with Rule 17Ad-22(d). The Commission believes that only four respondent clearing agencies will remain subject to the PRA burdens of certain portions of Rule 17Ad-22(d) after the proposal of Rule 17Ad-22(e) and the estimated burdens have been adjusted accordingly.
