Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

Extension:
Rule 608

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 608 (17 CFR
242.608) 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 608 specifies procedures for
filing or amending national market
system plans (‘‘NMS Plans’’). Selfregulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) filing
a new NMS Plan must submit the text
of the NMS Plan to the Commission,
along with a statement of purpose, and,
if applicable, specified supporting
materials that may include: (1) A copy
of all governing or constituent
documents, (2) a description of the
manner in which the NMS Plan, and
any facility or procedure contemplated
by the NMS Plan, will be implemented,
(3) a listing of all significant phases of
development and implementation

contemplated by the NMS Plan,
including a projected completion date
for each phase, (4) an analysis of the
competitive impact of implementing the
NMS Plan, (5) a description of any
written agreements or understandings
between or among plan participants or
sponsors relating to interpretations of
the NMS Plan or conditions for
becoming a plan participant or sponsor,
and (6) a description of the manner in
which any facility contemplated by the
NMS Plan shall be operated.
Participants or sponsors to the NMS
Plan must ensure that a current and
complete version of the NMS Plan is
posted on a designated website or a plan
website after being notified by the
Commission that the NMS Plan is
effective. Each plan participant or
sponsor must also provide a link on its
own website to the current website to
the current version of the NMS Plan.
The Commission estimates that the
creation and submission of a new NMS
Plan and any related materials would
result in an average aggregate burden of
approximately 850 hours per year (25
SROs × 34 hours = 850 hours). The
Commission further estimates an
average aggregate burden of
approximately 125 hours per year (25
SROs × 5 hours = 125 hours), for each
of the SROs to keep a current and
complete version of the NMS Plan
posted on a designated website or a plan
website, and to provide a link to the
current version of the NMS Plan on its
own website. In addition, the
Commission estimates that the creation
of a new NMS Plan and any related
materials would result in an average
aggregate cost of approximately
$150,000 per year (25 SROs × $6,000 =
$150,000).
SROs proposing to amend an existing
NMS Plan must submit the text of the
amendment to the Commission, along
with a statement of purpose, and, if
applicable, the supporting materials
described above, as well as a statement
that the amendment has been approved
by the plan participants or sponsors in
accordance with the terms of the NMS
Plan. Participants or sponsors to the
NMS Plan must ensure that any
proposed amendments are posted to a
designated website or a plan website
after filing the amendments with the
Commission and that those websites are
updated to reflect the current status of
the amendment and the NMS Plan. Each
plan participant or sponsor must also
provide a link on its own website to the
current version of the NMS Plan. The
Commission estimates that the creation
and submission of NMS Plan
amendments and any related materials
would result in an average aggregate

burden of approximately 11,050 hours
per year (25 SROs × 442 hours = 11,050
hours). The Commission further
estimates an average aggregate burden of
approximately 124 hours per year (25
SROs × 4.94 hours = 123.5 hours
rounded up to 124) for SROs to post any
pending NMS Plan amendments to a
designated website or a plan website
and to update such websites to reflect
the current status of the amendment and
the NMS Plan. In addition, the
Commission estimates that the creation
of a NMS Plan amendment and any
related materials would result in an
average aggregate cost of approximately
$325,000 per year (25 SROs × $13,000
= $325,000).
Finally, to the extent that a plan
processor is required for any facility
contemplated by a NMS Plan, the plan
participants or sponsors must file with
the Commission a statement identifying
the plan processor selected, describing
the material terms under which the plan
processor is to serve, and indicating the
solicitation efforts, if any, for alternative
plan processors, the alternatives
considered, and the reasons for the
selection of the plan processor. The
Commission estimates that the
preparation and materials related to the
selection of a plan processor would
result in an average aggregate burden of
approximately 283 hours per year (25
SROs × 11.33 hours = 283.33 rounded
down to 233). In addition, the
Commission estimates that the
preparation and submission of materials
related to the selection of a plan
processor would result in an average
aggregate cost of approximately $8,333
per year (25 SROs × $333.33 = $8,333.33
rounded down to $8,333).
The above estimates result in a total
annual industry burden of
approximately 12,432 hours (850 + 125
+ 11,050 + 124 + 283) and a total annual
industry cost of approximately $483,333
($150,000 + $325,000 + $8,333).
Compliance with Rule 608 is
mandatory. The text of the NMS Plans
and any amendments will not be
confidential, but published on a
designated website or a plan website. To
the extent that Rule 608 requires the
SROs to submit confidential information
to the Commission, that information
will be kept confidential subject to the
provisions of applicable law.1 The SROs
are required by law to retain the records
and information that are collected
pursuant to Rule 608 for a period of not
less than 5 years, the first 2 years in an
1 See, e.g., 5 U.S.C. 552 et seq.; 15 U.S.C. 78x
(governing the public availability of information
obtained by the Commission).
