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’’) is soliciting comments
on the proposed collection of
information provided for in Rule 17a–7
(17 CFR 240.17a–7) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’).
Rule 17a–7 requires a non-resident
broker-dealer (generally, a broker-dealer
with its principal place of business in a
place not subject to the jurisdiction of
the United States) registered or applying
for registration pursuant to Section 15 of
the Exchange Act to maintain—in the
United States—complete and current
copies of books and records required to
be maintained under any rule adopted
under the Exchange Act and furnish to
the Commission a written notice
specifying the address where the copies
are located. Alternatively, Rule 17a–7
provides that non-resident brokerdealers may file with the Commission a
written undertaking to furnish the
requisite books and records to the
Commission upon demand within 14
days of the demand.
The Commission estimates that there
are approximately 53 non-resident
broker-dealers. Based on the
Commission’s experience, the
Commission estimates that the average
amount of time necessary to comply
with Rule 17a–7 is one hour per year
per respondent. Accordingly, the
Commission estimates that the total
industry-wide reporting burden is
approximately 53 hours per year.
Assuming an average cost per hour of
approximately $344 for a compliance
manager, the total internal cost of
compliance for the respondents is
approximately $18,232 per year.1
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
1 $344 per hour for a compliance manager is from
SIFMA’s Management & Professional Earnings in
the Securities Industry 2013, modified by
Commission staff for an 1800-hour work-year,
multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size,
employee benefits, and overhead, and adjusted for
inflation.

[Docket No. EP 748]

Indexing the Annual Operating
Revenues of Railroads
The Surface Transportation Board
(Board) is publishing the annual deflator
factor and inflation-adjusted railroad
revenue thresholds for 2024. The
deflator factor is used by the railroads
to adjust their gross annual operating
revenues for classification purposes.
This indexing methodology ensures that
railroads are classified based on real
business expansion and not on the
effects of inflation. Classification is
important because it determines the
extent to which individual railroads
must comply with the Board’s reporting
requirements.
The Board’s annual deflator factor is
based on the annual average of the
Producer Price Index (PPI) industry data
for line-haul railroads published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and is
used to deflate revenues for comparison
with established revenue thresholds.
Application of the annual deflator
factors for 2020–2024 results in the
following annual revenue thresholds:
