Extension:
Rule 17a–22; SEC File No. 270–202,
OMB Control No. 3235–0196
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 17a–22 (17 CFR 240.17a–22) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17a–22 requires all registered
clearing agencies to file with the
Commission three copies of all materials
they issue or make generally available to
their participants or other entities with
which they have a significant
relationship, such as pledges, transfer
agents, or self-regulatory organizations.
Such materials include manuals,
notices, circulars, bulletins, lists, and

periodicals. The filings with the
Commission must be made within ten
days after the materials are issued or
made generally available. When the
Commission is not the clearing agency’s
appropriate regulatory agency, the
clearing agency must file one copy of
the material with its appropriate
regulatory agency.
The Commission is responsible for
overseeing clearing agencies and uses
the information filed pursuant to Rule
17a–22 to determine whether a clearing
agency is implementing procedural or
policy changes. The information filed
aides the Commission in determining
whether such changes are consistent
with the purposes of Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. Also, the Commission
uses the information to determine
whether a clearing agency has changed
its rules without reporting the actual or
prospective change to the Commission
as required under Section 19(b) of the
Exchange Act.
The respondents to Rule 17a–22 are
registered clearing agencies. The
frequency of filings made by clearing
agencies pursuant to Rule 17a–22 varies
but on average there are approximately
120 filings per year per active clearing
agency. There are nine registered
clearing agencies, but only seven active
registered clearing agencies are expected
to submit filings pursuant to the rule.
The Commission staff estimates that
each response requires approximately
.25 hours (fifteen minutes), which
represents the time it takes for a staff
person at the clearing agency to
properly identify a document subject to
the rule, print and make copies, and
mail that document to the Commission.
Thus, the total annual burden for all
active clearing agencies is
approximately 210 hours (7 clearing
agencies multiplied by 120 filings per
clearing agency multiplied by .25).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

20549–2736
Extension:
Rule 102; SEC File No. 270–409, OMB
Control No. 3235–0467

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 102 of Regulation M (17 CFR
242.102), under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 102 prohibits distribution
participants, issuers, and selling
security holders from purchasing
activities at specified times during a
distribution of securities. Persons
otherwise covered by this rule may seek
to use several applicable exceptions
such as an exclusion for actively traded
reference securities and the
maintenance of policies regarding
information barriers between their
affiliates.
There are approximately 955
respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 1,855 hours to comply
with this rule. Each respondent makes
an estimated 1 annual response. Each
response takes on average
approximately 1.942 hours to complete.
Thus, the total compliance burden per
year is 1,855 burden hours. The total
internal compliance cost for all
respondents is approximately
$129,850.00, resulting in an internal
cost of compliance per respondent of
approximately $135.97 (i.e.,
$129,850.00/955 respondents).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
