Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule
17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h)
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 17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h), (17 CFR
240.17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h)), under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h)
enumerates the requirements with
which transfer agents must comply to
inform the Commission or the

appropriate regulator of a transfer
agent’s failure to meet the minimum
performance standards set by the
Commission rule by filing a notice.
While it is estimated that there are
740 transfer agents, only approximately
three notices pursuant to Rule 17Ad–
2(c), (d), and (h) are filed annually. In
view of: (a) the readily available nature
of most of the information required to be
included in the notice (since that
information must be compiled and
retained pursuant to other Commission
rules); (b) the summary fashion that
such information must be presented in
the notice (most notices are one page or
less in length); and (c) the experience of
the staff regarding the notices, the
Commission staff estimates that, on
average, most notices require
approximately one-half hour to prepare.
The Commission staff thus estimates
that transfer agents spend an average of
a total of one and a half hours per year
complying with the rule (3 × .5 hours =
1.5 hours).
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirement under Rule
17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h) is not less than
two years following the date the notice
is submitted. The recordkeeping
requirement under this rule is
mandatory to assist the Commission in
monitoring transfer agents who fail to
meet the minimum performance
standards set by the Commission rule.
This rule does not involve the collection
of confidential information. Please note
that a transfer agent is not required to
file under the rule unless it does not
meet the minimum performance
standards for turnaround, processing or
forwarding items received for transfer
during a month.
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.

Regulation SCI, Form SCI
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
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
(‘‘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
Regulation Systems Compliance and
Integrity (‘‘Regulation SCI’’) (17 CFR
242.1000–1007) and Form SCI (17 CFR
249.1900) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’)
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Regulation SCI requires certain key
market participants to, among other
things: (1) have comprehensive policies
and procedures in place to help ensure
the robustness and resiliency of their
technological systems, and also that
their technological systems operate in
compliance with the federal securities
laws and with their own rules; and (2)
provide certain notices and reports to
the Commission to improve
Commission oversight of securities
market infrastructure.
Regulation SCI advances the goals of
the national market system by
enhancing the capacity, integrity,
resiliency, availability, and security of
the automated systems of entities
important to the functioning of the U.S.
securities markets, as well as reinforcing
the requirement that such systems
operate in compliance with the
Exchange Act and rules and regulations
thereunder, thus strengthening the
infrastructure of the U.S. securities
markets and improving its resilience
when technological issues arise. In this
respect, Regulation SCI establishes an
updated and formalized regulatory
framework, thereby helping to ensure
more effective Commission oversight of
such systems.
Respondents consist of national
securities exchanges and associations,
registered clearing agencies, exempt
clearing agencies, plan processors, and
alternative trading systems. There are
currently 48 respondents, and the
Commission staff estimates that, on
