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 existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17g-1, Form
NRSRO and Instructions to Form
NRSRO under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).1 The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 17g–1, Form NRSRO and the
Instructions to Form NRSRO contain
certain recordkeeping and disclosure
requirements for NRSROs. Currently,
there are 10 credit rating agencies
registered as NRSROs with the
Commission. Based on staff experience
the Commission estimates that the
revised ongoing annual burden for
respondents to comply with Rule 17g-1
and Form NRSRO is 2,750 hours. In
addition, the Commission estimates an
industry-wide annual external cost to
NRSROs of $4,000 to comply with the
requirements.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; and
(d) 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. August 11, 2023
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
