documents, including all
correspondence, memoranda, papers,
books, notices, accounts, and other such
records made or received by it in the
course of its business as such and in the
conduct of its self-regulatory activity,
and that such documents be available
for examination by the Commission.
There are 34 entities required to
comply with the rule: 23 national
securities exchanges, 1 national
securities association, 9 registered
clearing agencies, and the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board. The
Commission staff estimates that the
average number of hours necessary for
compliance with the requirements of
Rule 17a–1 is 52 hours per year. In
addition, 4 national securities
exchanges notice-registered pursuant to
Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(g))
are required to preserve records of
determinations made under Rule 3a55–
1 under the Act (17 CFR 240.3a55–1),
which the Commission staff estimates
will take 1 hour per exchange, for a total
of 4 hours. Accordingly, the
Commission staff estimates that the total
number of hours necessary to comply
with the requirements of Rule 17a–1 is
1,772 hours. The total internal cost of
compliance for all respondents is
$124,040, based on an average cost per
hour of $70.
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
estimate 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.
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.

Schedule 13E–4F; SEC File No. 270–340,
OMB Control No. 3235–0375

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
(‘‘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.
Schedule 13E–4F (17 CFR 240.13e–
102) may be used by an issuer that is
incorporated or organized under the
laws of Canada to make a cash tender
or exchange offer for the issuer’s own
securities if less than 40 percent of the
class of such issuer’s securities
outstanding that are the subject of the
tender offer is held by U.S. holders. The
information collected must be filed with
the Commission and is publicly
available. We estimate that it takes
approximately 2 hours per response to
prepare Schedule 13E–4F and that the
information is filed by approximately 3
respondents for a total annual reporting
burden of 6 hours (2 hours per response
× 3 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this 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 imposed by 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
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
