Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 62 / Wednesday, April 1, 2026 / Notices
removal of all dedicated GPS antennas,
as proposed, will not cause any burden
on inter-market competition.
Additionally, there is no burden to
intra-market competition because the
direct GPS antenna service is ultimately
being terminated for all customers. The
Exchange is merely proposing to extend
the designated time for the termination
of the dedicated GPS service and
removal of all dedicated GPS antennas,
which would provide all customers
with the same timeline for terminating
or converting to the shared GPS antenna
service on a non-discriminatory basis.
Continuing with the service until the
proposed extended termination date of
April 30, 2026, however, is voluntary,
and customers are free to terminate their
dedicated GPS antenna service at any
time before the proposed extension date.
Use of any co-location service is
completely voluntary, and each market
participant can determine whether to
use co-location services based on the
requirements of its business operations.
The purpose of this proposal is to
extend the designated date for
termination of the GPS dedicated
antenna service (and removal of all
dedicated GPS antennas) from April 1,
2026, as previously scheduled,16 to
April 30, 2026, and to inform the
Commission and market participants of
that change. The removal of the
Exchange’s dedicated GPS antenna
service under Rule General 8, Section
1(d) was proposed in a previous rule
filing that was submitted to the SEC,17
and the Exchange is not proposing in
this filing any changes to that filing
other than to modify the designated date
for the termination of the dedicated GPS
antenna service and associated fee and
the removal of all dedicated GPS
antennas. The Exchange is extending
that termination date to April 30, 2026,
in light of delays associated with the
completion of the new shared GPS
antenna offering, and in order to
provide customers who have opted for
the shared GPS antenna service with
sufficient time to test that service before
termination of their dedicated GPS
antenna service takes effect on April 30,
2026, as proposed. As discussed above,
continuation of that service until the
proposed extended termination date of
April 30, 2026, is voluntary, and
customers are free to terminate their
dedicated GPS antenna service at any
time before the proposed extension date.

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 (SEC or
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the proposed collection of
information provided for in Rule 15c2–
11 (17 CFR 240.15c2–11) (‘‘Rule’’),
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15c2–11 governs the publication
of quotations for securities in a
quotation medium other than a national
securities exchange (i.e., over the
counter (‘‘OTC’’) securities). The Rule is
designed to prevent broker-dealers from
publishing or submitting quotations for
OTC securities that may facilitate a
fraudulent or manipulative scheme.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule
prohibits broker-dealers from publishing
any quotation for a security or, directly
or indirectly, submitting any quotation
for publication, in a quotation medium
unless they have reviewed specified
information concerning the issuer.
Based on the current structure of the
market, the Commission staff believes
that the recordkeeping and review
requirements under Rule 15c2–11 apply
to 196 broker-dealers, one qualified
interdealer quotation system (‘‘QIDQS’’),
and one registered national securities
association (‘‘RNSA’’). Based on
information provided by the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(‘‘FINRA’’), the Commission staff

understands that in the 2024 calendar
year, 266 Form 211 applications were
filed to initiate the publication or
submission of quotations of OTC
securities: 76 of these Forms 211
concerned OTC securities of prospectus
issuers, Regulation A (‘‘Reg. A’’) issuers,
and reporting issuers; 163 concerned
OTC securities of ‘‘exempt foreign
private issuers’’; and 27 concerned OTC
securities of ‘‘catch-all issuers.’’ The
collection of information that is
submitted to FINRA for review and
approval is currently not available to the
public from FINRA. Commission staff
estimates that the total annual burden of
the information collection requirements
prescribed in the Rule is 1,771,343
hours.
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 OMB
Control Number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the SEC,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the SEC’s estimate of the burden
imposed by the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and the assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated, electronic
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please direct your written comments
on this 60-Day Collection Notice to
Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data
Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via
email to PaperworkReductionAct@
sec.gov by June 1, 2026. There will be
a second opportunity to comment on
this SEC request following the Federal
Register publishing a 30-Day
Submission Notice.
Dated: March 27, 2026.

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
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Schedule 13E–4F (17 CFR 240.13e–
102) may be used by a Canadian foreign
private issuer to make a cash tender or
exchange offer for the issuer’s own
securities if less than 40 percent of the
class of securities subject to the offer is
held by U.S. holders. Schedule 13E–4F
is designed to provide U.S. investors in
relevant Canadian securities with
adequate information concerning the
cash tender or exchange offer, the
Canadian foreign private issuer, and the
securities subject to the offer so that
investors can make informed voting and
investment decisions. The information
collected is mandatory and is made
publicly available on the Commission’s
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval (‘‘EDGAR’’) system. We
estimate that Schedule 13E–4F takes
approximately 3.33 hours per response
to prepare and that approximately 1
response is made per year. We estimate
that 100% of the burden is carried out
internally by the Canadian issuer. Based
on our estimates, we calculate a total
annual reporting burden of 3 hours
((3.33 hours per response × 100%) × 1
response per year), when rounded to the
nearest dollar. Because we estimate that
100% of the burden will be carried
internally by the issuer, we estimate that
there is no cost burden associated with
Schedule 13E–4F.
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 OMB
Control Number.
