1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).1 The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 17g–8 contains certain
requirements for Nationally Recognized
Statistical Rating Organizations
(‘‘NRSROs’’) to have policies and
procedures with respect to the
procedures and methodologies the
NRSRO uses to determine credit ratings,
with respect to the symbols, numbers, or
scores it uses to denote credit ratings, to
address instances in which a look-back
review determines that a conflict of
interest influenced a credit rating, and
to consider certain prescribed factors for
an effective internal structure. Rule 17g–
9 contains requirements for NRSROs to
ensure that any person employed by an
NRSRO to determine credit ratings
meets standards necessary to produce
accurate ratings. Currently, there are 9
credit rating agencies registered as
NRSROs with the Commission. The
Commission estimates that the total
burden for respondents to comply with
Rule 17g–8 is 1,305 hours and to
comply with Rule 17g–9 is 22,504
hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
