[SEC File No. 270–149, OMB Control No. 

3235–0130] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 17Ad–2(c), 

(d), and (h) 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 17Ad–2(c), (d), and 

(h), (17 CFR 240.17Ad–2(c), (d), and 

(h)), under the Securities Exchange Act 

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

Commission plans to submit this 

existing collection of information to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Rule 17Ad–2(c),(d), and (h) 

enumerates the requirements with 

which transfer agents must comply to 

inform the Commission or the 

appropriate regulator of a transfer 

agent’s failure to meet the minimum 

performance standards set by the 

Commission rule by filing a notice. 

While it is estimated that there are 

740 transfer agents, only approximately 

three notices pursuant to Rule 17Ad– 

2(c), (d), and (h) are filed annually. In 

view of (a) the readily available nature 

of most of the information required to be 

included in the notice (since that 

information must be compiled and 

retained pursuant to other Commission 

rules); (b) the summary fashion in 

which such information must be 

presented in the notice (most notices are 

one page or less in length); and (c) the 

experience of the staff regarding the 

notices, the Commission staff estimates 

that, on the average, most notices 

require approximately one-half hour to 

prepare. The Commission staff thus 

estimates that transfer agents spend an 

average of a total of one and a half hours 

per year complying with the rule (3 × .5 

hours = 1.5 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 shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

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 by 

December 23, 2024. 

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. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data 

Officer, Securities and Exchange 

Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg, 100 

F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or
