SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549. 

Extension: 

Rule 17Ac2–2, SEC File No. 270–298, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0337. 

Form TA–2, SEC File No. 270–298, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0337. 

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 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 

(OMB Control No. 3235–0337; SEC File 

No. 270–298). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR 240.17Ac2–2) 

and Form TA–2 under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) require transfer agents to file an 

annual report of their business activities 

with the Commission. The amount of 

time needed to comply with the 

requirements of Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form 

TA–2 varies. From the total 598 

registered transfer agents, approximately 

30 registrants would be required to 

complete only Questions 1 through 4 

and the signature section of amended 

Form TA–2, which the Commission 

estimates would take each registrant 

about 30 minutes, for a total burden of 

15 hours (30 × .5 hours). Approximately 

111 registrants would be required to 

answer Questions 1 through 5, 10, and 

11 and the signature section, which the 

Commission estimates would take about 

1 hour and 30 minutes, for a total of 

166.5 hours (111 × 1.5 hours). The 

remaining registrants, approximately 

457, would be required to complete the 

entire Form TA–2, which the 

Commission estimates would take about 

6 hours, for a total of 2,742 hours (457 

× 6 hours). We estimate that the total 

burden would be 2,923.5 hours (15 

hours + 166.5 hours + 2,742 hours). 

We estimate that the total cost of 

reviewing and entering the information 

reported on the Forms TA–2 for 

respondents is $41.50 per hour. The 

Commission estimates that the total cost 

would be $121,325.25 annually ($41.50 

× 2,923.5). 

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 shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’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. 

Comments should be directed to 

Charles Boucher, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted to OMB 

within 60 days of this notice.
