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 17a–2 (17 CFR
240.17a–2), 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 17a–2—Recordkeeping
Requirements Relating to Stabilizing
Activities—requires underwriters to
maintain information regarding
stabilizing activities conducted in
accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation
M. The collections of information under
Regulation M and Rule 17a–2 are
necessary for covered persons to obtain
certain benefits or to comply with
certain requirements. The collections of
information are necessary to provide the
Commission with information regarding
syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids. The Commission may
review this information during periodic
examinations or with respect to
investigations. Except for the
information required to be kept under
Rule 104(i) (17 CFR 242.104(i)) and Rule

required to be collected or disclosed for
PRA purposes will be kept confidential.
The recordkeeping requirement of Rule
17a–2 requires the information be
maintained in a separate file, or in a
separately retrievable format, for a
period of three years, the first two years
in an easily accessible place, consistent
with the requirements of Exchange Act
Rule 17a–4(f) (17 CFR 240.17a–4(f)).
There are approximately 805
respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 4,025 hours to comply
with this rule. Each respondent makes
an estimated 1 annual response. Each
response takes approximately 5 hours to
complete. Thus, the total compliance
burden per year is 4,025 burden hours.
The total estimated internal compliance
cost for the respondents is
approximately $281,750, resulting in an
internal cost of compliance for each
respondent per response of
approximately $350.00 (i.e.,
$281,750.00/805 responses).
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 to be 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.
