Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 187 / Friday, September 25, 2020 / Notices

Instructions to Form NRSRO under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).1
Rule 17g–1, Form NRSRO and the
Instructions to Form NRSRO contain
certain recordkeeping and disclosure
requirements for NRSROs. Currently,
there are 9 credit rating agencies
registered as NRSROs with the
Commission. Based on staff experience,
the Commission estimates that the
revised ongoing annual burden for
respondents to comply with Rule 17g–
1 and Form NRSRO remains at 275
hours, but with a decrease in industry
total hours to 2,475 hours, reflecting the
decrease in registered entities. In
addition, the Commission estimates an
industry-wide annual external cost to
NRSROs of $3,600 to comply with the
requirements.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.

Rule 17g–2 30 Day Notice 2020—
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Extension:
Rule 17g–2

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’’) 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 17g–2 (17 CFR 240.17g–2) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
Rule 17g–2, ‘‘Records to be made and
retained by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations,’’
implements the Commission’s
recordkeeping rulemaking authority
under Section 17(a) of the Exchange
Act.1 The rule requires a Nationally
Recognized Statistical Rating
Organization (‘‘NRSRO’’) to make and
retain certain records relating to its
business and to retain certain other
business records, if such records are
made. The rule also prescribes the time
periods and manner in which all these
records must be retained. There are 9
credit rating agencies registered with the
Commission as NRSROs under section
15E of the Exchange Act, which have
already established the record keeping
policies and procedures required by
Rule 17g–2. Based on staff experience,
NRSROs are estimated to spend a total
industry-wide burden of 2,151 annual
hours to make and retain the
appropriate records.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.
