Extension:
Rule 17Ad–11, SEC File No. 270–261,
OMB Control No. 3235–0274

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 17Ad–11 (17 CFR
240.17Ad–11), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.). The Commission plans to submit
this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 17Ad–11 requires every
registered recordkeeping transfer agent
to report to issuers and its appropriate
regulatory agency in the event that the
aggregate market value of an aged record
difference exceeds certain thresholds. A
record difference occurs when an
issuer’s records do not agree with those
of securityholders as indicated, for
instance, on certificates presented to the
transfer agent for purchase, redemption
or transfer. An aged record difference is
a record difference that has existed for
more than 30 calendar days. In addition,
the rule requires every recordkeeping
transfer agent to report to its appropriate
regulatory agency in the event of a
failure to post certificate detail to the
master securityholder file within five
business days of the time required by

Rule 17Ad–10 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–10).
Also, a transfer agent must maintain a
copy of any report required under Rule
17Ad–11 for a period of not less than
three years following the date of the
report, the first year in an easily
accessible place.
Because the information required by
Rule 17Ad–11 is already available to
transfer agents, any collection burden
for small transfer agents is minimal.
Based on a review of the number of Rule
17Ad–11 reports the Commission, the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation received since
2012, the Commission staff estimates
that 8 respondents will file a total of
approximately 10 reports annually. The
Commission staff estimates that, on
average, each report can be completed
in 30 minutes. Therefore, the total
annual hourly burden to the entire
transfer agent industry is approximately
five hours (30 minutes × 10 reports).
Assuming an average hourly rate of $25
for a transfer agent staff employee, the
average total internal cost of the report
is $12.50. The total annual internal cost
of compliance for the approximate 8
respondents is approximately $125.00
(10 reports × $12.50).
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirement under Rule
17Ad–11 is three years following the
date of a report prepared pursuant to the
rule. The recordkeeping requirement
under Rule 17Ad–11 is mandatory to
assist the Commission and other
regulatory agencies with monitoring
transfer agents and ensuring compliance
with the rule. This rule does not involve
the collection of confidential
information.
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 in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
