19 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

20 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). As required under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the 

Commission with written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and the text of the proposed rule 

change, at least five business days prior to the date 

of filing of the proposed rule change, or such 

shorter time as designated by the Commission. 

21 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

22 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

23See supra note 15 (noting that NYSE BQT and 

NLS Plus carry consolidated volume for all listed 

equities). 

24For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 25 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

of the Act 19 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

thereunder.20

A proposed rule change filed 

pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the 

Act 21 normally does not become 

operative for 30 days after the date of its 

filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 22

permits the Commission to designate a 

shorter time if such action is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. The Exchange has asked 

the Commission to waive the 30-day 

operative delay so that the proposal may 

become operative immediately upon 

filing. The Exchange believes that 

waiving the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because it would allow the Exchange to 

timely offer investors a new option for 

receiving consolidated volume 

information. The Exchange further notes 

that other exchanges currently offer 

similar data products that include 

consolidated volume.23 The 

Commission believes that waiving the 

30-day operative delay is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. Therefore, the 

Commission hereby waives the 

operative delay and designates the 

proposed rule change operative upon 

filing.24

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

Rule 239. SEC File No. 270–638, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0687. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 239 (17 CFR 230.239) provides 

exemptions under the Securities Act of 

1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.), the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) and the Trust 

Indenture Act of 1939 (U.S.C. 77aaa et 

seq.) for security-based swaps issued by 

certain clearing agencies satisfying 

certain conditions. The purpose of the 

information required by Rule 239 is to 

make certain information about 

security-based swaps that may be 

cleared by the registered or the exempt 

clearing agencies available to eligible 

contract participants and other market 

participants. We estimate that each 

registered or exempt clearing agency 

issuing security-based swaps in its 

function as a central counterparty will 

spend approximately 2 hours each time 

it provides or update the information in 

its agreements relating to security-based 

swaps or on its Web site. We estimate 

that each registered or exempt clearing 

agency will provide or update the 

information approximately 20 times per 

year. In addition, we estimate that 75% 

of the 2 hours per response (1.5 hours) 

is prepared internally by the clearing 

agency for a total annual reporting 

burden of 180 hours (1.5 hours per 

response × 20 times × 6 respondents). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the 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

Extension: 

Form N–5, SEC File No. 270–172, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0169. 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for 

extension and approval. 

Form N–5 (17 CFR 239.24 and 274.5) 

is the form used by small business 

investment companies (‘‘SBICs’’) to 

register their securities under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’) and the 

Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 

U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment 

Company Act’’). Form N–5 is the 

registration statement form adopted by 

the Commission for use by an SBIC that 

has been licensed as such under the 

Small Business Investment Act of 1958 

or which has received the preliminary 

approval of the Small Business 

Administration (‘‘SBA’’) and has been 

notified by the SBA that the company 

may submit a license application Form 

N–5 is an integrated registration form 

and may be used as the registration 

statement under both the Securities Act 

and the Investment Company Act. The 

purpose of Form N–5 is to meet the 

filing and disclosure requirements of 

both the Securities Act and Investment 

Company Act, and to provide investors 

with information sufficient to evaluate 

an investment in an SBIC. The 

information that is required to be filed 

with the Commission permits 

verification of compliance with 

securities law requirements and assures 

the public availability and 

dissemination of the information. 

The Commission has received one 

filing on Form N–5 in the last three 

years, and we therefore estimate that 

SBICs will file about 0.333 filings on 

Form N–5 per year. The currently 

approved burden of Form N–5 is 352 

hours per response. Therefore, the 

number of currently approved aggregate 

burden hours, when calculated using 

the current estimate for number of 

filings is about 117 hours per year. The 

currently approved cost burden of Form 

N–5 is $30,000 per filing. We continue 

to believe this estimate for Form N–5’s 

cost burden is appropriate. Therefore, 

we estimate that the aggregate cost 

burden, when calculated using the 

Commission’s estimate of 0.333 filings 

per year, is about $10,000 in external 

costs per year. 

Estimates of average burden hours 

and costs are made solely for the 

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, and are not derived from a 

comprehensive or even representative 

survey or study of the costs of 

Commission rules and forms. 

Compliance with the collection of 

information requirements of Form N–5 

is mandatory. Responses to the 

collection of information will not be 

kept confidential. 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 OMB control number. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Commission, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s estimate of the burden of 

the 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 in 

writing within 60 days of this 

publication.
