Extension:
Rule 17a–12/Form X–17A–5 Part IIB

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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 17a–12 (17 CFR 240.17a–12) and
Part IIB of Form X–17A–5 (17 CFR
249.617) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17a–12 is the reporting rule
tailored specifically for over-the-counter
(‘‘OTC’’) derivatives dealers registered
with the Commission, and Part IIB of
Form X–17A–5, the Financial and
Operational Combined Uniform Single
(‘‘FOCUS’’) Report, is the basic
document for reporting the financial
and operational condition of OTC
derivatives dealers. Rule 17a–12
requires registered OTC derivatives
dealers to file Part IIB of the FOCUS
Report quarterly. Rule 17a–12 also
requires that OTC derivatives dealers
file audited financial statements
annually.
The reports required under Rule 17a–
12 provide the Commission with

Jkt 247001

information used to monitor the
operations of OTC derivatives dealers
and to enforce their compliance with
the Commission’s rules. These reports
also enable the Commission to review
the business activities of OTC
derivatives dealers and to anticipate,
where possible, how these dealers may
be affected by significant economic
events.
There are currently three registered
OTC derivatives dealers. The staff
expects that three additional firms will
register as OTC derivatives dealers
within the next three years. The staff
estimates that the average amount of
time necessary to prepare and file the
quarterly reports required by the rule is
eighty hours per OTC derivatives
dealer 1 and that the average amount of
time to prepare and file the annual audit
report is 100 hours per OTC derivatives
dealer per year, for a total reporting
burden of 180 hours per OTC
derivatives dealer annually. Thus the
staff estimates that the total industrywide reporting burden to comply with
the requirements of Rule 17a–12 is
1,080 hours per year (180 × 6). The
Commission estimates that the average
annual reporting cost per broker-dealer
for an independent public accountant to
examine the financial statements is
approximately $46,300 per brokerdealer. Thus, the total industry-wide
annual reporting cost is approximately
$277,800 ($46,300 × 6).
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.
The public may view background
documentation for this information
collection at the following website:
www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission,
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Room 10102, New Executive

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Candace

be submitted to OMB within 30 days of
this notice.

and an average of 20 hours spent preparing each
response.

Extension:
Form N–6

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 (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form N–6 (17 CFR
239.17c and 274.11d) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) and under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) registration statement of separate
accounts organized as unit investment
trusts that offer variable life insurance
policies.’’ Form N–6 is the form used by
insurance company separate accounts
organized as unit investment trusts that
offer variable life insurance contracts to
register as investment companies under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
and/or to register their securities under
the Securities Act of 1933. The primary
purpose of the registration process is to
provide disclosure of financial and
other information to investors and
potential investors for the purpose of
evaluating an investment in a security.
Form N–6 also requires separate
accounts organized as unit investment
trusts that offer variable life insurance
policies to provide investors with a
prospectus and a statement of additional
information (‘‘SAI’’) covering essential
information about the separate account
when it makes an initial or additional
offering of its securities.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 388 registration
statements (8 initial registration
statements plus 380 post-effective

amendments) are filed on Form N–6
annually. The estimated hour burden
per portfolio for preparing and filing an
initial registration statement on Form
N–6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated
annual hour burden for preparing and
filing initial registration statements is
6,162 hours (8 initial registration
statements annually times 770.25 hours
per registration statement). The
Commission estimates that the hour
burden for preparing and filing a posteffective amendment on Form N–6 is
67.5 hours. The total annual hour
burden for preparing and filing posteffective amendments is 25,650 hours
(380 post-effective amendments
annually times 67.5 hours per
amendment). The frequency of response
is annual. The total annual hour burden
for Form N–6, therefore, is estimated to
be 31,812 hours (6,162 hours for initial
registration statements plus 25,650
hours for post-effective amendments).
The Commission estimates that the
cost burden for preparing an initial
Form N–6 filing is $26,169 per portfolio
and the current cost burden for
preparing a post-effective amendment to
a previously effective registration
statement is $9,493 per portfolio. The
Commission estimates that, on an
annual basis, 8 portfolios will be
referenced in an initial Form N–6 and
380 portfolios will be referenced in a
post-effective amendment of Form N–6.
Thus, the total cost burden allocated to
Form N–6 would be $3,816,692.
The information collection
requirements imposed by Form N–6 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection
of information will not be kept
confidential. Estimates of average
burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative
survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms. 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 control
number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the 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
