Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule
17f–2(e)
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 (‘‘SEC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the proposed collection of
information provided for in Rule 17f–
2(e) (17 CFR 240.17f–2(e)), under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Section 17(f)(2) requires, in pertinent
part, that every member of a national
securities exchange, broker, dealer,
registered transfer agent, and registered
clearing agency (collectively, ‘‘covered
entities’’) require that each of their
partners, directors, officers, and
employees be fingerprinted and submit
(or cause to be submitted) such
fingerprints to the U.S. Attorney General
for identification and appropriate
processing.1 Section 17(f)(2) also
authorizes the Commission, by rule, to
exempt from the fingerprinting
requirements of Section 17(f)(2) upon
specified terms, conditions, and
periods, any class of partners, directors,
officers, and employees of a covered

entity, if the Commission finds that
such action is not inconsistent with the
public interest or the protection of
investors. Rule 17f–2 promulgated
under Section 17(f)(2) provides for
certain exemptions from the
fingerprinting requirement of Section
17(f)(2).2 Under Rule 17f–2, a covered
entity may claim an exemption from the
fingerprint requirements of Rule 17f–2
provided they make and keep current a
statement entitled ‘‘Notice Pursuant to
Rule 17f–2’’ containing the information
specified in Rule 17f–2(e)(1) to support
their claim of exemption (‘‘Notice’’).3
Rule 17f–2(e)(2) requires covered
entities to keep a copy of the Notice in
an easily accessible place at the
organization’s principal office and at the
office employing the persons for whom
exemptions are claimed, and to make
the Notice available for inspection upon
request by the Commission, appropriate
regulatory agency (if not the
Commission), or other designated
examining authority. Notices prepared
pursuant to Rule 17f–2(e) must be
maintained for different lengths of time
depending on the type of entity
maintaining the Notice. Under Rule
240.17a–1, every registered clearing
agency must keep and preserve at least
one copy of all documents made or
received by it in the course of its
business for a period of not less than
five years. Under Rule 240.17a–4 certain
members of national securities
exchanges, brokers, and dealers must
maintain the Notice during the life of
their enterprise. Under Rule 240.17Ad–
7, registered transfer agents must
maintain the Notice in an easily
accessible place. The recordkeeping
requirement under Rule 17f–2(e) assists
the Commission and other regulatory
agencies with helping ensure
compliance with Rule 17f–2.
Based on the Commission’s
experience with Rule 17f–2(e), we
estimate that approximately 75
respondents will incur an average
burden of 30 minutes per year to
comply with this rule, which represents
the time it takes for a staff person at a
covered entity to properly document a
claimed exemption from the
fingerprinting requirements of Rule 17f–
2 in the required Notice (0.4 hours,
constituting a reporting type of burden)
and to properly retain the Notice
according to the entity’s record
retention policies and procedures (0.1
hours, constituting a recordkeeping type
of burden). The estimated aggregate
annual burden for all covered entities is
2 17 CFR 240.17f–2.

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.
