III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

Each year the Postal Service must 

submit to the Commission its most 

recent annual performance plan and 

annual performance report. 39 U.S.C. 

3652(g). On December 29, 2021, the 

Postal Service filed its FY 2021 Annual 

Report to Congress in Docket No. 

ACR2021.1 The FY 2021 Annual Report 

includes the Postal Service’s FY 2021 

annual performance report (FY 2021 

Report) and FY 2022 annual 

performance plan (FY 2022 Plan). FY 

2021 Annual Report at 32–53. 

The FY 2022 Plan reviews the Postal 

Service’s plans for FY 2022. The FY 

2021 Report discusses the Postal 

Service’s progress during FY 2021 

toward its four performance goals: 

• High-Quality Service 

• Excellent Customer Experiences 

• Safe Workplace and Engaged 

Workforce 

• Financial Health 

Each year, the Commission must 

evaluate whether the Postal Service met 

the performance goals established in the 

annual performance plan and annual 

performance report. 39 U.S.C. 3653(d). 

The Commission may also ‘‘provide 

recommendations to the Postal Service 

related to the protection or promotion of 

public policy objectives set out in’’ title 

39. Id. 

Since Docket No. ACR2013, the 

Commission has evaluated whether the 

Postal Service met its performance goals 

in reports separate from the Annual 

Compliance Determination.2 The 

Commission continues this current 

practice to provide a more in-depth 

analysis of the Postal Service’s progress 

toward meeting its performance goals 

and plans to improve performance in 

future years. To facilitate this review, 

the Commission invites public comment 

on the following issues: 

• Did the Postal Service meet its 

performance goals in FY 2021? 

• Do the FY 2021 Report and the FY 

2022 Plan meet applicable statutory 

requirements, including 39 U.S.C. 2803 

and 2804? 

• What recommendations should the 

Commission provide to the Postal 

Service that relate to protecting or 

promoting public policy objectives in 

title 39? 

• For the Excellent Customer 

Experience performance goal, are there 

any customer experience (CX) metrics 

the Postal Service should add to 

measure CX? 3

• What recommendations or 

observations should the Commission 

make concerning the Postal Service’s 

strategic initiatives? 4

• What other matters are relevant to 

the Commission’s analysis of the FY 

2021 Report and the FY 2022 Plan 

under 39 U.S.C. 3653(d)?

1446 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2022 / Notices 

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 17f–1(c) (17 CFR 240.17f–1(c) and 

Form X–17F–1A (17 CFR 249.100) 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 

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

Rule 17f–1(c) requires approximately 

10,100 entities in the securities industry 

to report lost, stolen, missing, or 

counterfeit securities certificates to the 

Commission or its designee, to a 

registered transfer agent for the issue, 

and, when criminal activity is 

suspected, to the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation. Such entities are required 

to use Form X–17F–1A to make such 

reports. Filing these reports fulfills a 

statutory requirement that reporting 

institutions report and inquire about 

missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen 

securities. Since these reports are 

compiled in a central database, the rule 

facilitates reporting institutions to 

access the database that stores 

information for the Lost and Stolen 

Securities Program. 

We estimate that 10,100 reporting 

institutions will report that securities 

certificates are either missing, lost, 

counterfeit, or stolen annually and that 

each reporting institution will submit 

this report 30 times each year. The staff 

estimates that the average amount of 

time necessary to comply with Rule 

17f–1(c) and Form X17F–1A is five 

minutes per submission. The total 

burden is approximately 25,250 hours 

annually for the entire industry (10,100 

times 30 times 5 divided by 60). 

Rule 17f–1(c) is a reporting rule and 

does not specify a retention period. The 

rule requires an incident-based 

reporting requirement by the reporting 

institutions when securities certificates 

are discovered to be missing, lost, 

counterfeit, or stolen. Registering under 

Rule 17f–1(c) is mandatory to obtain the 

benefit of a central database that stores 

information about missing, lost, 

counterfeit, or stolen securities for the 

Lost and Stolen Securities Program. 

Reporting institutions required to 

register under Rule 17f–1(c) will not be 

kept confidential; however, the Lost and 

Stolen Securities Program database will 

be kept confidential. 

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. 

The public may view background 

documentation for this information 

collection at the following website:

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open

search function. Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent
