SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Extension Form Id 3235–0328]

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Upon Written
Request
Copies Available From: Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA
Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549–2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (the ‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), 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.
Form ID (OMB Control No. 3235–
0328) must be completed and filed with
the Commission by all individuals,
companies, and other organizations who
seek access to file electronically on the
Commission’s primary electronic filing
system, Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis and Retrieval system
(‘‘EDGAR’’). Those seeking access to file
on EDGAR typically include those who
are required to make certain disclosures
pursuant to the federal securities laws.
The information provided on Form ID is
an essential part of the security of
EDGAR. Form ID is not a public
document because it is used solely for
the purpose of screening applicants and
granting access to EDGAR. Form ID
must be submitted whenever an
applicant seeks an EDGAR
identification number (Central Index
Key or CIK) and access codes to file on
EDGAR.
The Commission may consider,
among other things, amendments to
Form ID that would result in a more
uniform and secure process for EDGAR
access by requiring certain applicants
that already have a CIK, but do not have
EDGAR access codes, to submit the
Form ID to obtain access to EDGAR. If
these amendments are adopted, for
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, the estimated total number of
annual Form ID filings for filers with
CIKs that need to obtain access codes is

approximately 404 filings.1
Additionally, we would update the
current approved estimate of the annual
number of Form ID filings for new filers
without CIKs (46,842 filings) by
approximately 1,247 filings.2
Thus, for purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, the estimated total
number of annual Form ID filings would
increase from 46,842 filings to 48,493
filings.3 The estimate of 0.15 hours per
response would stay the same, as the
filers with CIKs would be filling out the
same information as filers without CIKs.
The estimated total annual burden
would increase from 7,026 hours to
7,274 hours.4 The estimate that the filers
are responsible for 100% of the total
burden hours would stay the same.
In relation to the potential
amendments described above, the
Commission may consider amending
the Form ID to delete references to
applicants that do not have CIKs. If
adopted, this amendment would clarify
that a Form ID submission would also
be required by applicants that already
have CIKs but do not have EDGAR
access codes. Separately, the
Commission may also consider
modifying Form ID to update its
instructions and cross-references to
Volume I of the EDGAR Filer Manual.5
Other than the potential amendments
to require certain applicants that already
have a CIK, but do not have EDGAR
access codes, to submit the Form ID, we
do not believe that these additional
amendments to the Form ID would
make any substantive modifications to
any existing collection of information
requirements or impose any new
substantive recordkeeping or
information collection requirements
within the meaning of the Paperwork
Reduction Act.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
1 We base this estimate on the average number of
filers with CIKs who have obtained access codes to
EDGAR for the past three fiscal years. (524 + 359
+ 330)/3 = 404.
2 We base this estimate on the number of Form
ID filings for filers with no CIKs for the past three
fiscal years and subtracting it from the current
approved estimate. ((49,269 + 48,136 + 46,861)/3)
¥ 46,842 = 1,247.
3 46,842 + 404 + 1,247 = 48,493.
4 48,493 × 0.15 = 7,274.
5 See Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual,
Proposed Collection and Comment Request for
Form ID, Release No. 33–10902 (Dec. 11, 2020) [86
FR 7968] (Feb. 3, 2021)] (allowing applicants to
EDGAR the option of obtaining electronic
notarizations and remote online notarizations). The
Commission also amended 17 CFR 232.10(b) to
remove the manual signature requirement for
EDGAR access requests to allow electronic
signature requests. Id. The methods of notarization
provide an efficient means of authenticating
signatures in connection with requests for EDGAR
access.
