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 the 

existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR 

240.17Ac2–2) and Form TA–2 under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 under 

the Exchange Act require transfer agents 

to file an annual report of their business 

activities with the Commission. These 

reporting requirements are designed to 

ensure that all registered transfer agents 

are providing the Commission with 

sufficient information on an annual 

basis about the transfer agent 

community and to permit the 

Commission to effectively monitor 

business activities of transfer agents. 

The amount of time needed to comply 

with the requirements of amended Rule 

17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 varies. Of the 

total 373 registered transfer agents, 

approximately 9.2% (or 34 registrants)

would be required to complete only 

questions 1 through 3 and the signature 

section of amended Form TA–2, which 

the Commission estimates would take 

each registrant approximately 30 

minutes, for a total burden of 17 hours 

(34 × .5 hours). Approximately 26.5% of 

registrants (or 99 registrants) would be 

required to answer questions 1 through 

5, question 11 and the signature section, 

which the Commission estimates would 

take approximately 1 hour and 30 

minutes, for a total of 148.5 hours (99 

× 1.5 hours). Approximately 64.2% of 

the registrants (or 239 registrants) would 

be required to complete the entire Form 

TA–2, which the Commission estimates 

would take approximately 6 hours, for 

a total of 1,434 hours (239 × 6 hours). 

The aggregate annual burden on all 373 

registered transfer agents is thus 

approximately 1,599.5 hours (17 hours + 

148.5 hours + 1,434 hours) and the 

average annual burden per transfer 

agent is approximately 3.8 hours (1,434 

÷ 373). 

This rule does not involve the 

collection of confidential information.

Trade Shares of the Royce

Proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 

8.900–E 

July 20, 2018. 

On January 8, 2018, NYSE Arca, Inc. 

(‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘NYSE Arca’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 

19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule 

change to adopt new NYSE Arca Rule 

8.900–E to permit it to list and trade 

Managed Portfolio Shares. The 

Exchange also proposed to list and trade 

shares of Royce Pennsylvania ETF, 

Royce Premier ETF, and Royce Total 

Return ETF under proposed NYSE Arca 

Rule 8.900–E. The proposed rule change 

was published for comment in the 

Federal Register on January 26, 2018.3

On March 7, 2018, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,4 the Commission 

designated a longer period within which 

to approve the proposed rule change, 

disapprove the proposed rule change, or 

institute proceedings to determine 

whether to disapprove the proposed 

rule change.5 The Commission received 

five comment letters on the proposed 

rule change.6 On April 26, 2018, the 

Commission instituted proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act 7 to 

determine whether to approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change.8

Since then, the Commission has 

received two additional comments on 

the proposed rule change.9

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 10 provides 

that, after initiating proceedings, the 

Commission shall issue an order 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

rule change not later than 180 days after 

the date of publication of notice of filing 

of the proposed rule change. The 

Commission, however, may extend the 

period for issuing an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

by not more than 60 days if the 

Commission determines that a longer 

period is appropriate and publishes the 

reasons for such determination. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

notice and comment in the Federal 

Register on January 26, 2018.11 July 25, 

2018, is 180 days from that date, and 

September 23, 2018, is 240 days from 

that date. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to issue an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

so that it has sufficient time to consider 

the proposed rule change and the issues 

raised in the comment letters that have 

been submitted in connection therewith. 

Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,12

designates September 23, 2018, as the 

date by which the Commission should 

either approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule change (File No. SR– 

NYSEArca–2018–04). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13
