Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2024 / Notices

We estimate that the total reporting
burden for Regulation 17f–1(c), as
adopted, for all respondents is
approximately 2,937.5 hours. These
burdens consist of a one-time burden in
connection with Accenture Federal
Services LLC (‘‘Accenture’’) becoming
the new Program operator of
approximately 2,000 hours for set-up,
and annual burdens thereafter of
approximately 25 hours for maintenance
and 287.5 hours for reporting. [2,000 +
3(25 + 287.5) = 2,937.5 hours].
• The Commission estimates that
approximately 50 reporting institutions
will be subject to this one-time burden,
which corresponds to 40 hours for each
of the applicable reporting institutions.
Further, the Commission estimates that
updates in the applicable reporting
institutions’ systems to maintain this
connectivity will impose an aggregate
ongoing annualized burden of 25
burden hours, which corresponds to 30
minutes for each of the applicable
reporting institutions. Accordingly, this
estimated burden to establish and
maintain connectivity with Accenture
over three years results in an aggregate
burden of 691.67 hours per year or 13.83
hours per applicable reporting
institution per year. [(50 Respondents ×
1 Responses over 3 years) = 50 × (40
hour) = 2,000 hours/3 years = 666.67
hours per year; (50 Respondents × 1
Responses) = 50 × (.5 hours) = 25 hours;
666.67 hours + 25 hours = 691.67 hours;
691.67 hours/50 Respondents = 13.83
hours/Respondent].
• In addition, we estimate that
approximately 115 reporting institutions
will submit a report on average 30 times
each year. The staff estimates that the
average amount of time necessary for
each reporting institution to comply
with the Rule 17f–1(c) and Form X–
17F–1A is five minutes. As a result, the
total hourly burden for the periodic
reporting burden under Rule 17f–1(c) is
approximately 287.5 hours [(115
Respondents × 30 Responses) × (5
minutes/60 minutes/hour)].
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.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Rule 304 of
Regulation ATS
Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 304 of Regulation
ATS (17 CFR 242.304) and Form ATSN 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
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Regulation ATS provides a regulatory
structure for alternative trading systems.
Rule 304 of Regulation ATS provides
conditions for NMS Stock ATSs seeking
to rely on the exemption from the
definition of ‘‘exchange’’ provided by
Rule 3a1–1(a) of the Exchange Act,
including to file a Form ATS-N, and for
that Form ATS-N to become effective.
Form ATS-N requires NMS Stock ATSs
to provide information about their
manner of operations, the broker-dealer
operator, and the ATS-related activities
of the broker-dealer operator and its
affiliates to comply with the conditions
provided under Rule 304. Form ATS-N
promotes more efficient and effective
market operations by providing more
transparency to market participants
about the operations of NMS Stock
ATSs and the potential conflicts of
interest of the controlling broker-dealer
operator and its affiliates, and helps
brokers meet their best execution
obligations to their customers.
Operational transparency rules,
including Form ATS-N, are designed to
increase competition among trading
centers in regard to order routing and
execution quality.
The Commission staff estimates that
entities subject to the requirements of
Rule 304 and Form ATS-N will spend

a total of approximately 1,901 hours a
year to comply with the Rule.
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 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 by
January 31, 2025. 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.
