PARAGRAPH (C) OF RULE 17F-2 (ADOPTED
3/16/76) ALLOWS A NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE OR ASSOCIATION TO
FILE WITH, AND GET APPROVED BY, THE COMMISSION PLANS ALLOWING THESE
ENTITIES TO ACT AS CENTERS FOR COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING
FINGERPRINT CARDS. THIS PROCESS IS MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
BECAUSE THE FBI IS NOT REQUIRED TO DEAL ON A INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITH
THOUSANDS OF SUBMITTING INSTITUTIONS.

1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
