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’’) 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 approval.
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 2,007 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 29,061 hours
(14.48 hours per response × 2,007
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the 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 by October 15, 2024.
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.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit an extension for this
current collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
approval.
Rule 17g–7 (17 CFR 240.17g–7)
requires each nationally recognized
statistical rating organization
(‘‘NRSROs’’) to publish certain items,
including a form containing specified
information, when taking a rating action

Fmt 4703

with respect to a credit rating 1 and to
disclose rating histories for free on an
easily accessible portion of its corporate
internet website.2 There are currently 10
NRSROs registered with the
Commission, and it is estimated that the
NRSROs will take collectively
approximately 1,908,530 rating actions
per year.
Based on Commission staff’s
experience, it is estimated that the total
annual hour burden to comply with
Rule 17g–7 will be 641,673 hours. The
Commission further estimates that this
annual hour burden will result in a total
annual cost of $238,688,856, reflecting
the cost of preparing the form required
to be published by Rule 17g–7 and
standardizing and tailoring certain
required disclosures, and the cost of
maintaining a database of rating
histories to comply with Rule 17g–7.
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.
