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 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collections of 

information summarized below. 

Rule 605 of Regulation NMS (‘‘Rule 

605’’) (17 CFR 242.605),1 formerly 

known as Rule 11Ac1–5, requires 

market centers to make available to the 

public monthly order execution reports 

in electronic form. The Commission 

believes that many market centers retain 

most, if not all, the underlying raw data 

necessary to generate these reports in 

electronic format. Once the necessary

2 527 clearing brokers + 2426 introducing brokers 

= 2953. 

data is collected, market centers could 

either program their systems to generate 

the statistics and reports, or transfer the 

data to a service provider (such as an 

independent company in the business of 

preparing such reports or a selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) that 

would generate the statistics and 

reports. 

The collection of information 

obligations of Rule 605 apply to all 

market centers that receive covered 

orders in national market system 

securities. The Commission estimates 

that approximately 408 market centers 

are subject to the collection of 

information obligations of Rule 605. 

Each of these respondents is required to 

respond to the collection of information 

on a monthly basis. 

The Commission staff estimates that, 

on average, Rule 605 causes respondents 

to spend 6 hours per month in 

additional time to collect the data 

necessary to generate the reports, or 72 

hours per year. With an estimated 408 

market centers subject to Rule 605, the 

total data collection cost to comply with 

the monthly reporting requirement is 

estimated to be 29,376 hours per year. 

Rule 606 of Regulation NMS (‘‘Rule 

606’’) (17 CFR 242.606), formerly known 

as Rule 11Ac1–6, requires brokerdealers to prepare and disseminate 

quarterly order routing reports. Much of 

the information needed to generate 

these reports already should be 

collected by broker-dealers in 

connection with their periodic 

evaluations of their order routing 

practices. Broker-dealers must conduct 

such evaluations to fulfill the duty of 

best execution that they owe their 

customers. 

The collection of information 

obligations of Rule 606 apply to brokerdealers that route non-directed customer 

orders in covered securities. The 

Commission estimates that out of the 

currently 5178 broker-dealers that are 

subject to the collection of information 

obligations of Rule 606, clearing brokers 

bear a substantial portion of the burden 

of complying with the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements of Rule 606 

on behalf of small to mid-sized 

introducing firms. There currently are 

approximately 527 clearing brokers. In 

addition, there are approximately 2426 

introducing brokers that receive funds 

or securities from their customers. 

Because at least some of these firms also 

may have greater involvement in 

determining where customer orders are 

routed for execution, they have been 

included, along with clearing brokers, in 

estimating the total burden of Rule 606. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

each firm significantly involved in order 

routing practices incurs an average 

burden of 40 hours to prepare and 

disseminate a quarterly report required 

by Rule 606, or a burden of 160 hours 

per year. With an estimated 2953 2

broker-dealers significantly involved in 

order routing practices, the total burden 

per year to comply with the quarterly 

reporting requirement in Rule 606 is 

estimated to be 472,480 hours. 

Rule 606 also requires broker-dealers 

to respond to individual customer 

requests for information on orders 

handled by the broker-dealer for that 

customer. Clearing brokers generally 

bear the burden of responding to these 

requests. The Commission staff 

estimates that an average clearing broker 

incurs an annual burden of 400 hours 

(2000 responses × 0.2 hours/response) to 

prepare, disseminate, and retain 

responses to customers required by Rule 

606. With an estimated 527 clearing 

brokers subject to Rule 606, the total 

burden per year to comply with the 

customer response requirement in Rule 

606 is estimated to be 210,800 hours. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.
