requirements implement Section 15G of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78o–11) Section 15G clarifies the
scope and application of Section 306(a)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15
U.S.C. 7244(a)). Section 306(a) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among
other things, an issuer to provide timely
notice to its directors and executive
officers and to the Commission of the
imposition of a blackout period that
would trigger a trading prohibition
under Section 306(a)(1) of the SarbanesOxley Act. Section 306(a)(1) prohibits
any director or executive officer of an
issuer of any equity security, from
directly or indirectly, purchasing,
selling, or otherwise acquiring or
transferring any equity security of that
issuer during the blackout period with
respect to such equity security if the
director or executive officer acquired
the equity security in connection with
his or her service or employment.
Approximately 1,647 issuers file using
Regulation RR responses and it takes
approximately 14.389 hours per
response. We estimate that 75% of the
14.389 hours per response (10.792 per
response hours) is prepared by the
registrant for a total annual reporting
burden of 17,774 hours (10.792 hours
per response × 1,647 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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 by June 17, 2024.
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.
