13432 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices 

1Although the rules under Section 8(b) of the 

Investment Company Act are generally procedural 

in nature, two of the rules require respondents to 

disclose some limited information. Rule 8b–3 (17 

CFR 270.8b–3) provides that whenever a 

registration form requires the title of securities to 

be stated, the registrant must indicate the type and 

general character of the securities to be issued. Rule 

8b–22 (17 CFR 270.8b–22) provides that if the 

existence of control is open to reasonable doubt, the 

registrant may disclaim the existence of control, but 

it must state the material facts pertinent to the 

possible existence of control. The information 

required by both of these rules is necessary to 

insure that investors have clear and complete 

information upon which to base an investment 

decision.

Extension: 

Rules 8b–1 to 8b–33 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

Rules 8b–1 to 8b–33 (17 CFR 270.8b– 

1 to 8b–33) under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 

et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) set 

forth the procedures for preparing and 

filing a registration statement under the 

Investment Company Act. These 

procedures are intended to facilitate the 

registration process. These rules 

generally do not require respondents to 

report information.1

The Commission believes that it is 

appropriate to estimate the total 

respondent burden associated with 

preparing each registration statement 

form rather than attempt to isolate the 

impact of the procedural instructions 

under Section 8(b) of the Investment 

Company Act, which impose burdens 

only in the context of the preparation of 

the various registration statement forms. 

Accordingly, the Commission is not 

submitting a separate burden estimate 

for rules 8b–1 through 8b–33, but 

instead will include the burden for 

these rules in its estimates of burden for 

each of the registration forms under the 

Investment Company Act. The 

Commission is, however, submitting an 

hourly burden estimate of one hour for 

administrative purposes. 

The collection of information under 

rules 8b–1 to 8b–33 is mandatory. The 

information provided under rules 8b–1 

to 8b–33 is not kept confidential. 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.

Extension: 

Rule 15c2–1. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of 

extension of the previously approved 

collection of information provided for in 

Rule 15c2–1, (17 CFR 240.15c2–1), 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). 

Rule 15c2–1 (17 CFR 240.15c2–1) 

prohibits the commingling under the 

same lien of securities of margin 

customers (a) with other customers 

without their written consent and (b) 

with the broker-dealer. The rule also 

prohibits the re-hypothecation of 

customers’ margin securities for a sum 

in excess of the customer’s aggregate 

indebtedness. Pursuant to Rule 15c2–1, 

respondents must collect information 

necessary to prevent the rehypothecation of customer securities in 

contravention of the rule, issue and 

retain copies of notices of hypothecation 

of customer securities in accordance 

with the rule, and collect written 

consents from customers in accordance 

with the rule. The information is 

necessary to ensure compliance with the 

rule and to advise customers of the 

rule’s protections. 

There are approximately 48 

respondents (i.e., broker-dealers that 

conducted business with the public, 

filed Part II or Part IICSE of the FOCUS 

Report, did not claim an exemption 

from the Rule 15c3–3 reserve formula 

computation, and reported that they had 

a bank loan during at least one quarter 

of the current year) that require an 

aggregate total of approximately 1,080 

hours to comply with the rule. Each of 

these approximately 48 registered 

broker-dealers makes an estimated 45 

annual responses. Each response takes 

approximately 0.5 hours to complete. 

Thus, the total burden per year is 

approximately 1,080 hours. 

The retention period for the 

recordkeeping requirement under Rule 

15c2–1 is not less than two years 

following the date the notice is 

submitted. The recordkeeping 

requirement under this rule is 

mandatory to assist the Commission in 

monitoring the respondent who fail to 

collect the information set by the 

Commission 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 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Drug Offender’s Driver’s License 

Suspension Certification. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0579. 

Background: States are legally 

required to enact and enforce laws that 

revoke or suspend the drivers licenses 

of any individual convicted of a drug 

offense and to make annual 

certifications to the FHWA on their 

actions. The Department of 

Transportation’s implementing 

regulations (23 CFR part 192) of 23 

U.S.C. 159 require annual certifications 

by the Governors. In this regard, the 

State must submit by January 1 of each 

year either a written certification, signed 

by the Governor, stating that the State is 

in compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a 

written certification stating that the 

Governor is opposed to the enactment or 

enforcement, and that the State 

legislature has adopted a resolution 

expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C. 

159. 

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012, States’ 

failure to comply by October 1 of each 

fiscal year resulted in a withholding 

penalty of 8 percent from States’ 

apportionments for the fiscal year. Any 

funds withheld from a State under 23 

U.S.C. 159 shall not be available for 

apportionment to that State. 

Respondents: 50 States and the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

Annual average of 5 hours for each 

respondent; 260 total annual burden 

hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.
