Rule 17Ad–17
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 submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) this request for an extension of
the proposed collection of information.
Rule 17Ad–17, 17 CFR 240.17Ad–17,
requires certain transfer agents and
broker-dealers to make two searches for
the correct address of lost
securityholders using an information
database without charge to the lost
securityholders. In addition, paying
agents are required to attempt to notify
lost payees at least once. In addition, the
entities also are required to maintain
records relating to the searches and
notifications. The Commission staff
estimates that the rule applies to
approximately 489 broker dealers and
transfer agents, and 3,106 paying agent
entities, including carrying firms,
transfer agents, indenture trustees,
custodians, and approximately 10% of
issuers. The Commission staff estimates
that the total annual burden for searches
is approximately 183,813 hours and the
total annual burden for paying agent
notifications is approximately 38,913
hours. In addition, approximately 5,968
burden hours are associated with
recordkeeping, representing an annual
burden of 4,411 hours for the brokerdealers and transfer agents, and 1,557
for paying agents. The Commission staff
estimates that the aggregate annual
burden is therefore approximately
228,694 hours (183,813 + 38,913 +
5,968).
In addition, the Commission staff
estimates that covered entities will
incur costs of approximately $6,617,298

20549–2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) is submitting
to the Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) this request related to the
mandatory collections of information
provided for in the following rules and
forms under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
(‘‘Exchange Act’’): (1) Rule 15Ba2–1 (17
CFR 240.15Ba2–1) and Form MSD 1 (17
CFR 249.1100) (OMB Control No. 3235–
0083); (2) Rule 15Bc3–1 (17 CFR
240.15Bc3–1) and Form MSDW 2 (17
CFR 249.1110) (OMB Control No. 3235–
0087); (3) Rule 15Ba2–5 (17 CFR
240.15Ba2–5) (OMB Control No. 3235–
0088); and (4) Rule 15Ba2–4 (17 CFR
240.15Ba2–4) (OMB Control No. 3235–
0089).
Because each information collection
relates to the registration of municipal
securities dealers, the Commission
believes that it would promote
efficiency to consolidate these
information collections into a single
control number—revised OMB Control
No. 3235–0083—and discontinue the
other three control numbers upon OMB
approval. The Commission is therefore
submitting the existing information
collections (OMB Control Nos. 3235–
0083, 3235–0087, and 3235–0088) to
OMB for revision, extension, and
approval, and seeking OMB approval to
temporarily reinstate, with change,
inactive OMB Control No. 3235–0089
prior to its discontinuation. The
Commission is also requesting approval
to designate revised OMB Control No.
3235–0083 as a ‘‘common form’’ for
purposes of PRA submissions 3 because

annually, primarily as payment to third
party data base providers that will
search for the missing securityholders.
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirement under Rule
17Ad–17 is not less than three years.
The recordkeeping requirement under
this rule is mandatory to assist the
Commission in monitoring compliance
with the rule. This rule does not involve
the collection of confidential
information.
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.

‘common form’ is an information collection that can
be used by two or more agencies, or governmentwide, for the same purpose. The Common Forms
Module [in ROCIS] allows a ‘host’ agency to obtain
[OMB] approval of an information collection for use
by one or more ‘using’ agencies. After OMB grants
approval, any prospective using agency that seeks
to collect identical information for the same
purpose can obtain approval to use the ‘common
form’ by providing its agency-specific information
to OMB (e.g., burden estimates and number of
respondents). . . . The host agency will indicate in
the Federal Register notices that it is requesting
approval of a common form and, if known, identify
other agencies that may use the information
