VI. Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1
The Commission finds good cause for
approving the proposed rule change, as
amended by Amendment No. 1, prior to
the 30th day after the date of
publication of notice of Amendment No.
1 in the Federal Register. As noted by
the MSRB, Amendment No. 1 does not
raise any significant issues with respect
to the proposed rule change and only
provides a minor change to address an
issue raised by commenters. Further, the
proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, is designed to ease
burdens without negatively affecting
investors or the public interest.
For the foregoing reasons, the
Commission finds good cause for
approving the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, on an

accelerated basis, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act.
V. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,66
that the proposed rule change (SR–
MSRB–2021–04) be, and hereby is,
approved.
For the Commission, by the Office of
Municipal Securities, pursuant to delegated
authority.67

Extension:
Form ID

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 Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘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 for
extension and revisions.
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 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/or access codes to file

on EDGAR. The Commission may
consider potential technical changes to
the EDGAR filer access and filer account
management processes (‘‘potential
access changes’’) that include the
addition of individual user account
credentials as well as a filer
management tool on EDGAR through
which filers would manage their
EDGAR accounts. If the potential access
changes are implemented, the
Commission anticipates that it would
adopt amendments to certain
Commission rules and forms to reflect
the potential access changes, including
Form ID. The potential access changes
would include a filer designating on
Form ID which of its users would act as
filer administrator(s) to manage the
filer’s EDGAR account, analogous to the
contact person listed on Form ID who
currently receives access codes. The
potential access changes would also
include additional data fields on Form
ID related to authorized individuals.1
Separately, the Commission may
consider potential amendments to Form
ID that would result in a more uniform
and secure process for EDGAR access by
requiring applicants that already have a
CIK and no longer have access to
EDGAR to apply for access by
submitting a new Form ID, rather than
by submitting a manual passphrase
update request, as they do currently.2
As part of their Form ID application,
such applicants would continue to
provide additional documentation as
currently required by the EDGAR Filer
Manual for manual passphrase update
requests.3
For purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, we currently estimate
that there are 48,493 Form ID filings
annually and that it takes approximately
0.15 hours per response to prepare for
a total of 7,274 annual burden hours.
The current burden includes the
number of Form ID filings for filers
without CIKs (48,089 filings) and filers
with CIKs who have not filed
1 An ‘‘authorized individual’’ for purposes of
Form ID notarization process includes, for example,
the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
partner, corporate secretary, officer, director, or
treasurer of a company filer; or for individual filers,
the individual filer or a person with a power of
attorney from the individual filer. See EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I, at Section 3.
2 The manual passphrase update request is
submitted by filers who do not possess access codes
for their existing EDGAR accounts when the contact
email address on their existing account is not
accurate. (If the contact email address were
accurate, they would be able to receive a security
token to allow them to regain access without
engaging in the manual passphrase update request
process.)

4. See also Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Release No. 33–10948 (Jun. 21, 2021) [86

electronically on EDGAR (404 filings).4
Filers are responsible for 100% of the
total burden hours.
If the potential access changes and
potential Form ID amendments become
effective, for purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, we estimate that the
number of Form ID filings would
increase approximately by 7,284
annually 5 and that the number of hours
to prepare Form ID would increase by
0.15 hours. The current approved
estimate of the annual number of Form
ID filings for filers without CIKs (48,089
filings) and filers with CIKs who have
not filed electronically on EDGAR (404
filings) would stay the same.
Thus, for purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, the estimated total
number of annual Form ID filings would
increase from 48,493 filings to 55,777
filings.6 The estimate of 0.15 hours per
response would increase to 0.30 hours
per response. The estimated total annual
burden would increase from 7,274 hours
to 16,734 hours.7 The estimate includes
the number of filers without CIKs, filers
with CIKs who have not filed
electronically on EDGAR, and filers
with CIKs who are seeking to reaccess
EDGAR. The estimate that the filers are
responsible for 100% of the total burden
hours would stay the same.
In relation to the potential access
changes described above, the
Commission may consider amending
Form ID to make technical
modifications and clarifications. We do
not believe that these technical
modifications and clarifications to 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.
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate
is not derived from a comprehensive or
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules. Complying
with this collection of information
requirement is necessary to obtain the
benefit of relying on Form ID. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
4 48,089 filings for users without CIKs + 404
filings for filers with CIKs who have not yet filed
electronically on EDGAR = 48,493 filings.
5 We base this estimate on the average annual
number of filings from filers with CIKs who
submitted manual passphrase update requests for
the past three federal fiscal years. ((7,004 filings per
year + 6,871 filings per year + 7,978 filings per
year)/3 years) = average of 7,284 filings per year.
6 48,493 filings + 7,284 filings = 55,777 filings.
7 55,777 filings × 0.30 hours/filing = 16,734 hours
(rounded up).
