Extension:
Rule 17Ac2–1

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 17Ac2–1 (17 CFR
240.17Ac2–1), 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 17Ac2–1, pursuant to Section
17A(c) of the Exchange Act, generally
requires transfer agents for whom the
Commission is the transfer agent’s
Appropriate Regulatory Agency
(‘‘ARA’’), to file an application for
registration with the Commission on
Form TA–1 and to amend their
registrations under certain
circumstances.
Specifically, Rule 17Ac2–1 requires
transfer agents to file a Form TA–1
application for registration with the
Commission where the Commission is
their ARA. Such transfer agents must
also amend their Form TA–1 if the
existing information on their Form TA–
1 becomes inaccurate, misleading, or
incomplete within 60 days following the
date the information became inaccurate,
misleading or incomplete. Registration
filings on Form TA–1 and amendments
thereto must be filed with the
Commission electronically, absent an
50 17

CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

exemption, on EDGAR pursuant to
Regulation S–T (17 CFR 232).
The Commission annually receives
approximately 199 filings on Form TA–
1 from transfer agents required to
register as such with the Commission.
Included in this figure are
approximately 167 amendments made
annually by transfer agents to their
Form TA–1 as required by Rule 17Ac2–
1(c) to address information that has
become inaccurate, misleading, or
incomplete and approximately 32 new
applications by transfer agents for
registration on Form TA–1 as required
by Rule 17Ac2–1(a). Based on past
submissions, the staff estimates that on
average approximately twelve hours are
required for initial completion of Form
TA–1 and that on average one and onehalf hours are required for an
amendment to Form TA–1 by each such
firm. Thus, the subtotal burden for new
applications for registration filed on
Form TA–1 each year is approximately
384 hours (12 hours times 32 filers =
384) and the subtotal burden for
amendments to Form TA–1 filed each
year is approximately 251 hours (1.5
hours times 167 filers = 250.5 rounded
up to 251). The cumulative total is
approximately 635 burden hours per
year (384 hours plus 251 hours).
Of the approximately 635 hours per
year associated with Rule 17Ac2–1, the
Commission staff estimates that (i) sixty
percent (380.7 hours) are spent by
compliance staff at an estimated hourly
wage of $283, for a total of $107,738.10
per year (380.7 hours × $283 per hour
= $107,738.10 per year; (ii) forty percent
(253.8 hours) are spent by attorneys at
an estimated hourly wage of $380, for a
total of $96,444 per year (253.8 hours ×
$380 per hour = $96,444 per year); and
(iii) the total internal cost of compliance
associated with the Rule is thus
approximately $204,182.10 per year
($107,738.10 in compliance staff costs +
$96,444 in attorney costs = $204,182.10
per year).
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 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
