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
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Investment Advisers Act
rule 206(4)–7, 17 CFR 275.206(4)–7,
Compliance procedures and practices.’’
This collection of information is found
at 17 CFR 275.206(4)–7, and is
mandatory. Rule 206(4)–7 under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(‘‘Advisers Act’’) requires each
investment adviser registered with the
Commission to (1) adopt and implement
written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent
violations of the Advisers Act and its
rules, (2) review those compliance
policies and procedures annually, and
(3) designate a chief compliance officer
who is responsible for administering the
compliance policies and procedures.
The rule is designed to protect investors
by fostering better compliance with the
securities laws. The collection of
information under rule 206(4)–7 is
necessary to help ensure that
investment advisers maintain
comprehensive internal programs that
promote the advisers’ compliance with
the Advisers Act and its rules. The
Commission’s examination and
oversight staff may review the
information collected to assess
investment advisers’ compliance
programs. Responses provided to the
Commission pursuant to the rule in the
context of the Commission’s
examination and oversight program are
generally kept confidential.1 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 control
number.
The respondents to this information
collection are investment advisers
registered with the Commission.
Updated data indicate that there were
14,376 advisers registered with the
Commission as of August 2021. Each
respondent would produce one
response, per year. Commission staff has
estimated that compliance with rule

PO 00000

Frm 00107

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

206(4)–7 imposes an annual burden of
approximately 90 hours per response.
Based on this figure, Commission staff
estimates a total annual burden of
1,293,840 hours for this collection of
information.
Written comments are invited on: (1)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (4)
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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments
to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, C/O John R.
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington,
DC 20549; or send an email to: PRA_
Mailbox@sec.gov.
Dated: November 23, 2021.
