total for recordkeeping related to swing
pricing will be 20 hours, at an aggregate
cost of $1,940, for all fund complexes
that we believe include funds that have
adopted swing pricing policies and
procedures.7
Amortized over a three-year period,
we believe that the hour burdens and
time costs associated with rule 22c–1,
including the burden associated with
the requirements that funds adopt
policies and procedures, obtain board
approval, and periodic review of an
annual written report from the swing
pricing administrator, and retain certain
records and written reports related to
swing pricing, will result in an average
aggregate annual burden of 113.3 hours,
and average aggregate time costs of
$130,336.8 We also estimate that rule
22c–1 imposes a total external cost
burden of $2,920 for outside legal
services related to compliance with the
policies and procedures requirement.9
These estimates of average costs are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate
is not derived from a comprehensive or
even a representative survey or study of
the costs of Commission rules.
This collection of information is
necessary to obtain a benefit and will
not be kept confidential. 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.

7 These estimates are based on the following
calculations: 4 hours × 5 fund complexes = 20
hours. 5 fund complexes × $388 = $1,940.
8 These estimates are based on the following
calculations: (280 hours (year 1) + (3 × 20 hours)
(years 1, 2 and 3)) ÷ 3 = 113.3 hours; ($385,190 (year
1) + (3 × $1,940) (years 1, 2 and 3)) ÷ 3 = $130,336.
9 This estimated burden is based on the estimated
wage rate of $584 per hour for outside legal services
and the following calculation: $584 × 5 fund
complexes = $2,920.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235–0738]

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension:
Rules 13n–4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d)
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
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 (SEC or
‘‘Commission’’) is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) this request for an extension of
the collection of information.
Rules 13n–4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d)
implement Exchange Act sections
13(n)(5)(G) and (H), which conditionally
require a security-based swap data
repository (‘‘SBSDR’’) registered with
the Commission to make available
security-based swap data obtained by
the SBSDR (‘‘SBS Data’’) to certain U.S.
government entities and any other
person that the Commission determines
to be appropriate. The rules, in part,
condition such sharing of SBS Data on
there being an arrangement between the
Commission and the relevant entity (in
the form of a memorandum of
understanding or otherwise) to address
the confidentiality of the SBS Data. The
rules further require SBSDRs to create
and maintain records regarding such
data access. Pursuant to the
Commission’s authority, regulators or
other authorities that are not otherwise
designated by statute or rule may
request from the Commission that they
be deemed eligible to access SBS Data.
Implementation of the statutory and
regulatory SBS Data access provisions—
including the confidentiality condition
and the Commission’s authority to
designate entities to access SBS Data–
facilitates regulatory oversight of the
security-based swap market and its
participants, including oversight of
systemic and other risks associated with
the market. Implementation also
promotes compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, including but not
limited to compliance with the
antifraud provisions of the federal
securities laws.
Commission staff estimates that the
total annual burden associated with
Rules 13n–4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d) is
11,405 hours and $120,000, calculated
as follows:
Commission staff estimates a total of
50 regulators or other authorities will

PO 00000

Frm 00128

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

enter into confidentiality arrangements
with the Commission to obtain access to
SBS Data pursuant to these provisions.
On average, each of those recipients of
data is expected to expend 500 hours in
connection with negotiating these
MOUs or other arrangements, for a onetime aggregate burden of 25,000 hours,
with no associated ongoing burdens.
This equates to 8,333 hours per year
when annualized over three years.
Commission staff estimates that a total
of 41 regulators or other authorities (that
otherwise are not identified by statute or
the rules as being eligible for access to
SBS Data) may request that the
Commission determine they are eligible
to access SBS Data. On average, each of
those entities is expected to expend 40
hours in connection with such requests,
for a one-time aggregate burden of 1,640
hours, with no associated ongoing
burdens. This equates to 547 hours per
year when annualized over three years.
Commission staff also estimates that a
total of three SBSDRs may be expected
to incur systems-related costs associated
with setting up access to SBS Data for
regulators and other authorities. On
average, each SBSDR is expected to
expend 1,300 hours in connection with
providing such connectivity (based on
each SBSDR incurring 26 hours per
recipient, for 50 total recipients), for a
one-time aggregate burden of 3,900
hours, with no associated ongoing
burdens. This equates to 1,300 hours
when annualized over three years.
In addition, Commission staff
estimates that a total of three SBSDRs
may incur costs associated with the
requirement to notify the Commission
when an SBSDR receives the first
request for SBS Data from a particular
entity. On average, each SBSDR is
expected to expend 25 hours in
connection with this notice requirement
(based on each SBSDR providing 50
notices, at half-hour per notice), for a
one-time aggregate burden of 75 hours,
with no associated ongoing burdens.
This equates to 25 hours per year when
annualized over three years.
Commission staff estimates that a total
of three SBSDRs may incur costs
associated with the requirement that an
SBSDR maintain records of all
information related to initial and
subsequent requests for SBS Data
access. On average, compliance with
this provision is expected to require 360
hours initially and 280 hours annually
per SBSDR, for a total burden of 1,080
hours initially and 840 hours annually
across three SBSDRs. This equates to
1,200 hours per year when annualized
over three years. Commission staff
further estimates that each of the three
SBSDRs will require $40,000 annually

in connection with that requirement, for
a total cost of $120,000 annually across
three SBSDRs.

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

Rule 3a71–3(d)
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
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 (SEC or
‘‘Commission’’) is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) this request for an extension of
the collection of information.
Rule 3a71–3 under the Exchange Act
provides in part that, for purposes of
determining whether they can avail
themselves of the de minimis exception
to the ‘‘security-based swap dealer’’
definition, non-U.S. persons must count
certain dealing transactions with nonU.S. counterparties that have been
‘‘arranged, negotiated, or executed’’ by
personnel in the United States. Rule
3a71–3(d) provides an exception from
that ‘‘arranged, negotiated, or executed’’
counting requirement. The information
collection is required to obtain or retain
a benefit and the information is used by
the Commission to monitor compliance
with the exception to provisions of
Exchange Act Rule 3a71–3 that
otherwise would require non-U.S.
persons to count—against the thresholds
associated with the de minimis
exception to the ‘‘security-based swap

dealer’’ definition—security-based swap
dealing transactions with non-U.S.
counterparties when U.S. personnel
arrange, negotiate, or execute those
transactions.
The Commission continues to
estimate that up to 24 entities may seek
to rely on the exception to the de
minimis counting requirement of Rule
3a71–3. In connection with the
conditions to the exception, each of
those up to 24 entities would make use
of an affiliated registered security-based
swap dealer or registered broker. In
general, the registered entity would be
required to comply with the collections
of information. Applications for ‘‘listed
jurisdiction’’ status may be submitted by
the up to 24 relying entities, but the staff
believes that the greater portion of such
applications will be submitted by
foreign financial authorities.
The Commission continues to
estimate that the aggregate yearly
reporting burden for Rule 3a71–3(d), for
all respondents, is approximately
235,242.44 hours per year. In addition,
to account for inflation, the Commission
estimates that the aggregate annual cost
for all of Rule 3a71–3(d) for all
respondents is approximately
$1,359,778.96 per year. A detailed
break-down of the burdens applicable to
each type of entity is provided in the
supporting statement.
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.
