Extension:
Regulation R, Rule 701; SEC File No. 270–
562, OMB Control No. 3235–0624

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 Regulation R, Rule 701
(17 CFR 247.701) 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.
Regulation R, Rule 701 requires a
broker or dealer (as part of a written
agreement between the bank and the
broker or dealer) to notify the bank if the
broker or dealer makes certain
determinations regarding the financial
status of the customer, a bank
employee’s statutory disqualification
status, and compliance with suitability
or sophistication standards.
The Commission estimates there are
3,560 registered brokers or dealers that
would, on average, notify 1,000 banks
approximately two times annually about
a determination regarding a customer’s
high net worth or institutional status or

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001

suitability or sophistication standing as
well as a bank employee’s statutory
disqualification status. Based on these
estimates, the Commission anticipates
that Regulation R, Rule 701 would result
in brokers or dealers making
approximately 2,000 notifications to
banks per year. The Commission further
estimates (based on the level of
difficulty and complexity of the
applicable activities) that a broker or
dealer would spend approximately 15
minutes per notice to a bank. Therefore,
the estimated total annual third party
disclosure burden for the requirements
in Regulation R, Rule 701 is 500 1 hours
for brokers or dealers.
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
publication.
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.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington,

Extension:
Form 1–K

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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Form 1–K (17 CFR 239.91) is used to
file annual reports by Tier 2 issuers
under Regulation A, an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2
issuers under Regulation A conducting
offerings of up to $50 million within a
12-month period are required to file
Form 1–K. Form 1–K provides audited
year-end financial statements and
information about the issuer’s business
operation, ownership, management,
liquidity, capital resources and
operations on an annual basis. In
addition, Part I of the Form 1–K collects
information on any offerings under
Regulation A that have been terminated
or completed unless it has been
previous reported on Form 1–Z. The
purpose of the Form 1–K is to better
inform the public about companies that
have conducted Tier 2 offerings under
Regulation A. We estimate that
approximately 36 issuers file Form 1–K
annually. We estimate that Form 1–K
takes approximately 600 hours to
prepare. We estimate that 75% of the
600 hours per response (450 hours) is
prepared by the company for a total
annual burden of 16,200 hours (450.0
hours per response × 36 responses).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

Extension:
Rule 15Ga–2 and Form ABS–15G

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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 15Ga–2 and Form ABS–15G (17
CFR 249.1400) is used for reports of
information required under Rule 15Ga–
1 and Rule 15Ga–2 (17 CFR 240.15Ga–
1) (17 CFR 240.15Ga–2) of the Exchange
Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Exchange
Act Rule 15Ga–1 requires asset-backed
securitizers to provide disclosure
regarding fulfilled an unfulfilled
repurchase requests with respect to
asset-backed securities. The purpose of
the information collected on Form ABS–
15G is to implement the disclosure
requirements of Section 943 of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act to provide
information regarding the use of
representations and warranties in the
asset-backed securities markets. Rule
15Ga–1 had a one-time reporting
requirement that expired on February
14, 2012. We estimate that
approximately 1,343 securitizers will
file Form ABS–15G annually at
estimated (19.307 hours) burden hours
per response. In addition, we estimate
that 75% of the 19.307 hours per

response (14.48 hours) is carried
internally by the securitizers for a total
annual reporting burden of 19,447 hours
(14.48 hours per response × 1,343
responses).
