statement of the alleged facts or expert

opinion which support the contention

and on which the petitioner intends to

rely in proving the contention at the

hearing. The petitioner must also

provide references to those specific

sources and documents of which the

petitioner is aware and on which the

petitioner intends to rely to establish

those facts or expert opinion. Petitioner

must provide sufficient information to

show that a genuine dispute exists with

the applicant on a material issue of law

or fact. Contentions shall be limited to

matters within the scope of the

amendment under consideration. The

contention must be one which, if

proven, would entitle the petitioner to

relief. A petitioner who fails to file such

a supplement which satisfies these

requirements with respect to at least one

contention will not be permitted to

participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become

parties to the proceeding, subject to any

limitations in the order granting leave to

intervene, and have the opportunity to

participate fully in the conduct of the

hearing, including the opportunity to

present evidence and cross-examine

witnesses.

If a hearing is requested, the

Commission will make a final

determination on the issue of no

significant hazards consideration. The

final determination will serve to decide

when the hearing is held.

If the final determination is that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration, the

Commission may issue the amendment

and make it immediately effective,

notwithstanding the request for a

hearing. Any hearing held would take

place after issuance of the amendment.

If the final determination is that the

amendment request involves a

significant hazards consideration, any

hearing held would take place before

the issuance of any amendment.

dealers.1 The staff estimates that the

average number of hours necessary for

each broker-dealer to comply with Rule

11Ac1–3 is fourteen hours annually.

Thus, the total burden is 105,000 hours

annually. The average cost per hour is

approximately $85. Therefore, the total

cost of compliance for broker-dealers is

$8,925,000.

Records generated by forms pursuant

to this rule must be kept for three years.

The records required by this rule are

mandatory to assist the Commission in

its regulatory role. This rule does not

involve the collection of confidential

information. Please not that 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 control

number.

[Rule 17Ad–11; SEC File No. 270–261; OMB

Control No. 3235–0274]

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 a

request for extension of the previously

approved collection of information

discussed below.

• Rule 17Ad–11 Reports Regarding

Aged Record Differences, Buy-ins, and

Failure to Post Certificate Detail to

Master Securityholder Files

Rule 17Ad–11 requires approximately

150 transfer agents to report to issuers

and the appropriate regulatory agency in

the event that aged record differences

exceed certain dollar value thresholds.

An aged record difference occurs when

an issuer’s records do not agree with

those of securityowners as indicated, for

instance, on certificates presented to the

transfer agent for purchase, redemption

or transfer. In addition, the rule requires

transfer agents to report to the

appropriate regulatory agency in the

event of a failure to post certificate

detail to the master securityholder file

within 5 business days of the time

required by Rule 17Ad–10. Also,

transfer agents must maintain a copy of

each report prepared under Rule 17Ad–

11 for a period of three years following

the date of the report. These

recordkeeping requirements assist the

Commission and other regulatory

agencies with monitoring transfer agents

and ensuring compliance with the rule.

Because the information required by

Rule 17Ad–11 is already available to

transfer agents, any collection burden

for small transfer agents is minimal. The

staff estimates that the average number

of hours necessary to comply with Rule

17Ad–11 is one hour annually. The total

burden is 150 hours annually for

transfer agents, based upon past

submissions.

The retention period for the

recordkeeping requirement under Rule

17Ad–11 is three years following the

date of a report prepared pursuant to the

rule. The recordkeeping requirement

under rule 17Ad–11 is mandatory to

assist the Commission and other are

regulatory agencies with monitoring

transfer agents and ensuring compliance

with the rule. This rule does not involve

the collection of confidential

information. Please note that 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 control

number.

General comments regarding the

estimated burden hours should be

directed to the following persons: (i)

Exchange Commission, Office of
