Extension:
Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2

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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of the
existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR
240.17Ac2–2) and Form TA–2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 under
the Exchange Act require transfer agents
to file an annual report of their business
activities with the Commission. These
reporting requirements are designed to
ensure that all registered transfer agents
are providing the Commission with
sufficient information on an annual
basis about the transfer agent
community and to permit the
Commission to effectively monitor
business activities of transfer agents.
The amount of time needed to comply
with the requirements of Rule 17Ac2–2
and Form TA–2 varies. Of the total 362
registered transfer agents, approximately
9.2% (or 33 registrants) would be
required to complete only questions 1
through 3 and the signature section of
Form TA–2, which the Commission
estimates would take each registrant
approximately 30 minutes, for a total
burden of approximately 17 hours (33 ×
.5 hours). Approximately 26.5% of
registrants (or 96 registrants) would be
required to answer questions 1 through
5, question 11 and the signature section,
which the Commission estimates would
take approximately 1 hour and 30
minutes, for a total of approximately
144 hours (96 × 1.5 hours).
Approximately 64.2% of the registrants
(or 232 registrants) would be required to
complete the entire Form TA–2, which
the Commission estimates would take
approximately 6 hours, for a total of
approximately 1,392 hours (232 × 6
hours). The aggregate annual burden on
all 362 registered transfer agents is thus
approximately 1,553 hours (17 hours +
144 hours + 1,392 hours) and the
average annual burden per transfer
agent is approximately 4.29 hours (1,553
÷ 362).
This rule does not involve the
collection of confidential information.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
