Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices 12889 

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contract 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5, and states 

that the instant contract is also in 

compliance with Order No. 178. The 

instant contract will remain in effect 

until 1 year after its effective date, 

unless termination of the agreement 

occurs earlier. Id. The Postal Service 

shall notify the mailer of the effective 

date of the instant contract within 30 

days of its approval by the Commission. 

Id., Attachment 1 at 4. The instant 

contract may be terminated by either 

party upon 30 days’ written notice. Id., 

Attachment 1 at 10. 

In support of its notice, the Postal 

Service filed four attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachment 1—a redacted copy of 

the contract and applicable annexes; 

• Attachment 2—a certified statement 

required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); 

• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–24, which 

establishes prices and classifications for 

IBRS contracts, a description of 

applicable IBRS contracts, formulas for 

prices, an analysis of the formulas, a 

certification as to the formulas for prices 

offered under applicable IBRS contracts, 

and certification of the Governors’ vote; 

and 

• Attachment 4—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain redacted portions of the 

contract and file supporting documents 

under seal. 

The notice enumerates the reasons 

why the instant IBRS Competitive 

Contract allegedly fits within the Mail 

Classification Schedule language for 

IBRS Competitive Contract 3. The Postal 

Service identifies general contract terms 

that distinguish the instant contract 

from the IBRS 3 baseline contract, such 

as (1) a revised sentence in Article 15 

stating that the Postal Service may be 

required to file information in 

connection with the contract in other 

Commission dockets; and (2) an 

additional Article 30 concerning 

intellectual property, co-branding, and 

licensing. Id. at 5. The Postal Service 

states that the differences affect neither 

the fundamental service that the Postal 

Service is offering nor the fundamental 

structure of the contract. Id. 

The Postal Service concludes that its 

filing demonstrates that the new IBRS 

contract complies with the requirements 

of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally 

equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline 

contract filed in Docket Nos. MC2011– 

21 and CP2011–59. Id. at 6. Therefore, 

it requests that the instant contract be 

included within the IBRS Competitive 

Contract 3 (MC2011–21) product. Id. 

II. Notice of Filing

No. CP2012–17 for consideration of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: US Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Regulation AC; OMB Control No. 3235– 

0575; SEC File No. 270–517. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of 

extension of the existing collection of 

information provided for in the 

following rule: Regulation Analyst 

Certification (AC) (17 CFR 242.500– 

505), under the Securities Exchange Act 

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

Regulation AC requires that research 

reports published, circulated, or 

provided by a broker or dealer or 

covered person contain a statement 

attesting that the views expressed in 

each research report accurately reflect 

the analyst’s personal views and 

whether or not the research analyst 

received or will receive any 

compensation in connection with the 

views or recommendations expressed in 

the research report. Regulation AC also 

requires broker-dealers to, on a quarterly 

basis, make, keep, and maintain records 

of research analyst statements regarding 

whether the views expressed in public 

appearances accurately reflected the 

analyst’s personal views, and whether 

any part of the analyst’s compensation 

is related to the specific 

recommendations or views expressed in 

the public appearance. Regulation AC 

also requires that research prepared by 

foreign persons be presented to U.S. 

persons pursuant to Securities Exchange 

Act Rule 15a–6 and that broker-dealers 

notify associated persons if they would 

be covered by the regulation. Regulation 

AC excludes the news media from its 

coverage. 

The collections of information under 

Regulation AC are necessary to provide 

investors with information with which 

to determine the value of the research 

available to them. It is important for an 

investor to know whether an analyst 

may be biased with respect to securities 

or issuers that are the subject of a 

research report. Further, in evaluating a 

research report, it is reasonable for an 

investor to want to know about an 

analyst’s compensation. Without the 

information collection, the purposes of 

Regulation AC could not be met. 

The Commission estimates that 

Regulation AC imposes an aggregate 

annual time burden of approximately 

26,230 hours on 5,186 respondents, or 

approximately 5 hours per respondent. 

The Commission estimates that the total 

annual internal cost of the 26,230 hours 

is approximately $10,615,404.00, or 

approximately $2,047.00 per 

respondent, annually. 

The Commission may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. No person shall be 

subject to any penalty for failing to 

comply with a collection of information 

subject to the PRA that does not display 

a valid OMB control number. 

The public may view background 

documentation for this information 

collection at the following Web site, 

www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be 

directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503,

to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments 

must be submitted to OMB within 30 

days of this notice.
