[SEC File No. 270–263, OMB Control No. 

3235–0275] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Extension: Rule 

17Ad–13 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

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 17Ad–13 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–13), 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 

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

Rule 17Ad–13 requires certain 

registered transfer agents to file 

annually with the Commission and the 

transfer agent’s appropriate regulatory 

authority a report prepared by an 

independent accountant on the basis of 

a study and evaluation of the transfer 

agent’s system of internal accounting 

controls for the transfer of record 

ownership and the safeguarding of 

related securities and funds. If the 

independent accountant’s report 

specifies any material inadequacy in a 

transfer agent’s system, the rule requires 

the transfer agent to notify the 

Commission and its appropriate 

regulatory agency in writing, within 

sixty calendar days after the transfer 

agent receives the independent 

accountant’s report, of any corrective 

action taken or proposed to be taken by 

the transfer agent. In addition, Rule 

17Ad–13 requires that transfer agents 

maintain the independent accountant’s 

report and any other documents 

required by the rule for at least three 

years, the first year in an easily 

accessible place. These recordkeeping 

requirements assist the Commission and 

other regulatory agencies with 

monitoring transfer agents and ensuring 

compliance with the rule. Small transfer 

agents and transfer agents that service 

only their own companies’ securities are 

exempt from Rule 17Ad–13. 

Approximately 100 professional 

independent transfer agents must file 

with the Commission one report 

prepared by an independent accountant 

pursuant to Rule 17Ad–13 each year. 

Commission staff estimates that, on 

average, the annual internal time burden 

for each transfer agent to submit the 

independent accountant’s report to the 

Commission is minimal or zero. The 

time required for an independent 

accountant to conduct the study and 

evaluation of a transfer agent’s system of 

internal accounting controls and 

complete the report varies depending on 

the size and nature of the transfer 

agent’s operations. Commission staff 

estimates that, on average, each Rule 

17Ad–13 report can be completed by the 

independent accountant in 120 hours. 

In light of Commission staff’s review of 

previously filed Rule 17Ad–13 reports 

and Commission staff’s conversations 

with transfer agents and accountants, 

Commission staff estimates that 120 

hours are needed to perform the study 

and prepare the report on an annual 

basis. Commission staff estimates that 

the average hourly rate of an 

independent accountant is $291, 

resulting in a total annual external cost 

burden of $34,920 for each of the 

approximately 100 professional 

independent transfer agents. The 

aggregate total annual external cost for 

the 100 respondents is approximately 

$3,492,000. 

The retention period for the 

recordkeeping requirement under Rule 

17Ad–13 is three years following the 

date of a report prepared pursuant to the 

rule. The recordkeeping requirement 

under this rule is mandatory to assist 

the Commission and other regulatory 

agencies with monitoring transfer agents 

and ensuring compliance with the 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.

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Form 10–D is a periodic report used 

by asset-backed issuers to file 

distribution and pool performance 

information pursuant to Rule 13a–17 (17 

CFR 240.13a–17) or Rule 15d–17 (17 

CFR 240.15d–17) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.). The form is required to be filed 

within 15 days after each required 

distribution date on the asset-backed 

securities, as specified in the governing 

documents for such securities. The 

information provided by Form 10–D is 

mandatory and all information is made 

available to the public upon request. 

Form 10–D takes approximately 39.0 

hours per response to prepare and is 

filed by approximately 2,169 

respondents 4.1213 times a year for a 

total of 8,939 responses. We estimate 

that 75% of the 39.0 hours per response 

(29.25 hours) is prepared by the 

company for a total annual reporting 

burden of 261,466 hours (29.25 hours 

per response × 8,939 responses). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information
