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
(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 in Rule 17a–
4(b)(17) (17 CFR 240.17a–4(b)(17),
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17a–4(b)(17) requires brokerdealers to preserve the written
probability of default determination
relied upon pursuant to the exception in
Rule 101(c)(2)(i) or Rule 102(d)(2)(i), as
applicable. Rule 17a–4(b)(17) requires
broker-dealers relying on either of those
exceptions to preserve for a period of
not less than three years, the first two
years in an easily accessible place, the
written probability of default
determination made pursuant to Rule
101(c)(2)(i). Rule 17a–4(b)(17)’s record
preservation requirements involving the
written probability of default
determinations are mandatory if a
broker-dealer relies on the exception in
Rule 101(c)(2)(i) or Rule 102(d)(2)(i).
The burden imposed by Rule 17a–
4(b)(17) is limited to the maintenance
and preservation of the written records.
The information required by Rule
17a–4(b)(17) is designed to facilitate

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 137 / Monday, July 20, 2026 / Notices
Commission examinations of brokerdealers who rely on the exception in
Rule 101 or Rule 102, as applicable, for
nonconvertible debt securities and
nonconvertible preferred securities
(together ‘‘Nonconvertible Securities’’)
of certain credit-worthy issuers. Without
Rule 17a–4(b)(17), the Commission
would not have the same access to
necessary records in conducting
examinations of broker-dealers relying
on either of the exceptions.
Rule 17a–4(b)(17) results in two
information collections: initial and
ongoing recordkeeping burdens related
to preserving the written probability of
default calculation relied upon pursuant
to the exception in Rule 101(c)(2)(i) or
Rule 102(d)(2)(i), as applicable.

Initial Burden
To the extent there are new (in
relation to the previous 2023 estimate)
respondents relying on the applicable
exception in Rule 101(c)(2)(i) or Rule
102(d)(2)(i), the Commission estimates
that the record preservation
requirements under Rule 17a–4(b)(17)
will impose an initial burden of 25
hours per respondent for updating the
applicable policies and systems
required to account for preserving the
records made pursuant to Rule 101.
Assuming that all 275 respondents are
new entrants to the Nonconvertible
Securities markets and need to update
their policies and systems required to
account for preserving the records made
pursuant to Rule 101(c)(2)(i) (i.e.,
because they have not already done so),
the Commission estimates that the total
annual industry-wide initial burden for
this requirement is 2,292 hours.
Ongoing Burden
The Commission estimates that
respondents will incur an internal
ongoing annual burden of 10 hours per
firm for maintaining such records, as
well as to make additional updates to
the applicable record preservation
policies and systems to account for
preserving the records pursuant to Rule
17a–4(b)(17). The Commission estimates
that the total annual ongoing burden is
2,750 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.1

101 of Regulation M
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 previously approved collection of
information provided for in Rule 101 of
Regulation M (17 CFR 242.101), under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 101 prohibits distribution
participants from purchasing activities
at specified times during a distribution
of securities. Persons otherwise covered
by this rule may seek to use several
applicable exceptions such as a
calculation of the average daily trading
volume of the securities in distribution,
documenting an estimate of the
probability of default for distributions of
certain nonconvertible securities, the
maintenance of policies regarding
information barriers between their
affiliates, and the maintenance of a
written policy regarding general
compliance with Regulation M for de
minimis transactions.

PO 00000

There are estimated to be
approximately 2,110 respondents per
year that are required to comply with
Rule 101’s collections of information.
Each respondent is estimated to incur
approximately 25.796 burden hours to
comply with this rule’s information
collections. Therefore, the estimated
total industrywide compliance burden
per year is approximately 54,429 burden
hours. The total estimated industrywide
internal labor compliance cost for
respondents is approximately
$7,239,057, resulting in an estimated
internal cost of compliance per
respondent of approximately $3,430.83
(i.e., $7,239,057/2,110 respondents).
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.
