Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

20549–2736
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
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 19b–4(e) (17 CFR 240.19b–4(e))
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’).
Rule 19b–4(e) permits a selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) to list
and trade a new derivative securities
product without submitting a proposed
rule change pursuant to Section 19(b) of
the Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)), so long as
such product meets the criteria of Rule
19b–4(e) under the Act. However, in
order for the Commission to maintain an
accurate record of all new derivative
securities products traded on the SROs,
Rule 19b–4(e) requires an SRO to file a
summary form, Form 19b–4(e), to notify
the Commission when the SRO begins
trading a new derivative securities
product that is not required to be
submitted as a proposed rule change to

the Commission. Form 19b–4(e) should
be submitted within five business days
after an SRO begins trading a new
derivative securities product that is not
required to be submitted as a proposed
rule change. In addition, Rule 19b–4(e)
requires an SRO to maintain, on-site, a
copy of Form 19b–4(e) for a prescribed
period of time.
This collection of information is
designed to allow the Commission to
maintain an accurate record of all new
derivative securities products traded on
the SROs that are not deemed to be
proposed rule changes and to determine
whether an SRO has properly availed
itself of the permission granted by Rule
19b–4(e). The Commission reviews SRO
compliance with Rule 19b–4(e) through
its routine inspections of the SROs.
The respondents to the collection of
information are SROs (as defined by the
Act), all of which are national securities
exchanges. As of April 8, 2022 there
were 24 entities registered as national
securities exchanges with the
Commission. The Commission receives
an average total of 2,331 responses per
year, which corresponds to an estimated
annual hour burden of approximately
2,331 hours (2,331 responses × 1 hour
per response). At an average hourly cost
of $72, the aggregate related internal
cost of compliance for Rule 19b–4(e) is
approximately $167,832 per year (2,331
burden hours multiplied by $72/hour).
Compliance with Rule 19b–4(e) is
mandatory. Information received in
response to Rule 19b–4(e) shall not be
kept confidential; the information
collected is public 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.
