Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the existing collection of
information provided for in Rule 17Ad–
16 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–16) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ad–16 requires a registered
transfer agent to provide written notice
to the appropriate qualified registered
securities depository when assuming or
terminating transfer agent services on
behalf of an issuer or when changing its
name or address. In addition, transfer
agents that provide such notice shall
maintain such notice for a period of at
least two years in an easily accessible
place. This rule addresses the problem
of certificate transfer delays caused by
transfer requests that are directed to the
wrong transfer agent or the wrong
address.
We estimate that the transfer agent
industry submits approximately 15,917
Rule 17Ad–16 notices to appropriate
qualified registered securities
depositories. The staff estimates that the
average amount of time necessary to
create and submit each notice is
approximately 15 minutes per notice.
Accordingly, the estimated total
industry burden is 3,979.25 hours per
year (15 minutes multiplied by 15,917
notices filed annually).
Because the information needed by
transfer agents to properly notify the
appropriate registered securities
depository is readily available to them
and the report is simple and
straightforward, the cost is relatively
minimal. The average internal
compliance cost to prepare and send a
notice is approximately $86 (15 minutes
at $344 per hour).1 This yields an
industry-wide internal compliance cost
estimate of $1,368,862 (15,917 notices
multiplied by $86 per notice).
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.
1 The estimated hourly wages used in this
analysis were derived from reports prepared by the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association. See Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association, Office Salaries in the
Securities Industry—2022 (2022), modified to
account for an 1800-hour work year and multiplied
by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee
benefits and overhead.
