Short Statement: The estimated aggregate annual hour burden represents a decrease from the burden estimate previously submitted to OMB for the 2023 Paperwork Reduction Act Information Collection Submission for Rule 17Ac3-1 and Form TA-W. The change in the estimated aggregate burden is a result of a decrease in the estimated number of transfer agents who are expected to rely on Rule 17Ac3-1 and Form TA-W annually over the subsequent 3-year period from 50 to 12. As a result, the estimated aggregate annual hourly burden changed from 25 hours to 6 hours, a decrease of 19 hours.
