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–4 (17 CFR
240.17g–4) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 17g–4 contains collection of
information requirements.1 Specifically,
Rule 17g–4 requires each nationally
recognized statistical rating organization
(‘‘NRSRO’’) to establish, maintain, and
enforce written policies and procedures
that are reasonably designed to prevent
the following: (1) the inappropriate
dissemination of material nonpublic
information obtained in connection
with the performance of credit rating
services; (2) a person within the NRSRO
from trading or otherwise benefiting on
material nonpublic information; and (3)
the inappropriate dissemination of a
pending credit rating action.
Currently, there are 10 credit rating
agencies registered as NRSROs with the
Commission. Based on staff experience,

an NRSRO is estimated to spend an
average of approximately 10 hours per
year reviewing policies and procedures
required by Rule 17g–4, updating the
policies and procedures (if necessary),
and enforcing them, for a total industrywide annual hour burden of
approximately 100 hours.2
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 by
February 11, 2025.
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 OMB
control number. Please direct your
written comments to: Austin Gerig,
Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities
and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya
