proceedings, the Commission shall issue 

an order approving or disapproving the 

proposed rule change not later than 180 

days after the date of publication of 

notice of filing of the proposed rule 

change. The Commission may extend 

the period for issuing an order 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

rule change, however, by not more than 

60 days if the Commission determines 

that a longer period is appropriate and 

publishes the reasons for such 

determination. The proposed rule 

change was published for notice and 

comment in the Federal Register on 

September 8, 2021. March 7, 2022 is 180 

days from that date, and May 6, 2022 is 

240 days from that date. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to issue an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

so that it has sufficient time to consider 

the proposed rule change. Accordingly, 

the Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,9 designates May 6, 

2022 as the date by which the 

Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change 

(File No. SR–NYSEArca–2021–73). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.10

Extension: 

Rule 19h–1 

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 19h–1 (17 CFR 

240.19h–1), 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 19h–1 prescribes the form and 

content of notices and applications by 

self-regulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) 

regarding proposed admissions to, or 

continuances in, membership, 

participation or association with a 

member of any person subject to a 

statutory disqualification. 

The Commission uses the information 

provided in the submissions filed 

pursuant to Rule 19h–1 to review 

decisions by SROs to permit the entry 

into or continuance in the securities 

business of persons who have 

committed serious misconduct. The 

filings submitted pursuant to the Rule 

also permit inclusion of an application 

to the Commission for consent to 

associate with a member of an SRO 

notwithstanding a Commission order 

barring such association. 

The Commission reviews filings made 

pursuant to the Rule to ascertain 

whether it is in the public interest to 

permit the employment in the securities 

business of persons subject to statutory 

disqualification. The filings contain 

information that is essential to the staff’s 

review and ultimate determination on 

whether an association or employment 

is in the public interest and consistent 

with investor protection. 

It is estimated that approximately 20 

respondents will make submissions 

pursuant to this Rule annually. With 

respect to submissions for Rule 19h–1(a) 

notices, and based upon past 

submissions, the staff estimates that 

respondents will make a total of 11 

submissions per year. The staff 

estimates that the average number of 

hours necessary to complete a 

submission pursuant to Rule 19h–1(a) 

notices is 80 hours (for a total annual 

burden for all respondents in the 

amount of 17,600 hours). With respect 

to submissions for Rule 19h–1(a)(4) 

notifications, and based upon past 

submissions, the staff estimates that 

respondents will make a total of 9 

submissions per year. The staff 

estimates that the average number of 

hours necessary to complete a 

submission pursuant to Rule 19h–1(a)(4) 

notifications is 80 hours (for a total 

annual burden for all respondents in the 

amount of 14,400 hours). With respect 

to submissions for Rule 19h–1(b), and 

based upon past submissions, the staff 

estimates that respondents will make a 

total of 28 submissions per year. The 

staff estimates that the average number 

of hours necessary to complete a 

submission pursuant to Rule 19h–1(b) is 

13 hours (for a total annual burden for 

all respondents in the amount of 7,280 

hours). With respect to submissions for 

Rule 19h–1(d), and based upon past 

submissions, the staff estimates that 

respondents will make a total of 5 

submissions per year. The staff 

estimates that the average number of 

hours necessary to complete a 

submission pursuant to Rule 19h–1(d) is 

80 hours (for a total annual burden for 

all respondents in the amount of 8,000 

hours). The aggregate annual burden for 

all respondents is thus approximately 

47,280 hours (17,600 + 14,400 + 7,280 

+ 8,000). 

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 to be 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 May 2, 2022. 

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.
