SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

127(b) of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (URAA) (19 U.S.C. 

3537(b)(1)) requires that notice and 

opportunity for comment be provided 

after the United States submits or 

receives a request for the establishment 

of a WTO dispute settlement panel. 

Consistent with this obligation, USTR is 

providing notice that the establishment 

of a dispute settlement panel has been 

requested pursuant to the WTO 

Understanding on Rules and Procedures 

Governing the Settlement of Disputes 

(‘‘DSU’’). If such a panel is established 

pursuant to the DSU, such panel, which 

would hold its meetings in Geneva, 

Switzerland, would be expected to issue 

a report on its findings and 

recommendations within six to nine 

months after it is established. 

Major Issue Raised by Thailand 

In its request for the establishment of 

a panel, Thailand challenges the use of 

what it describes as ‘‘the methodology 

of ‘zeroing’ negative anti-dumping 

margins’’ in the Department of 

Commerce’s final determination, as 

amended, in the original investigation 

and antidumping duty order with 

respect to polyethylene retail carrier 

bags from Thailand.1 Thailand states 

that it considers this action to be 

inconsistent with the obligations of the 

United States under the first sentence of 

Article 2.4.2 of the Agreement on 

Implementation of Article VI of the 

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 

1994.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rules 17Ad–6 and 17Ad–7, OMB Control 

No. 3235–0291, SEC File No. 270–151. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of 

extension of the existing collection of 

information provided for in the 

following rules: Rule 17Ad–6 (17 CFR 

240.17Ad–6) and Rule 17Ad–7 (17 CFR 

240.17Ad–7) under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Rule 17Ad–6 under the Exchange Act 

requires every registered transfer agent 

to make and keep current records about 

a variety of information, such as: (1) 

Specific operational data regarding the 

time taken to perform transfer agent 

activities (to ensure compliance with 

the minimum performance standards in 

Rule 17Ad–2 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–2); (2) 

written inquiries and requests by 

shareholders and broker-dealers and 

response time thereto; (3) resolutions, 

contracts or other supporting documents 

concerning the appointment or 

termination of the transfer agent; (4) 

stop orders or notices of adverse claims 

to the securities; and (5) all canceled 

registered securities certificates. 

Rule 17Ad–7 under the Exchange Act 

requires each registered transfer agent to 

retain the records specified in Rule 

17Ad–6 in an easily accessible place for 

a period of six months to six years, 

depending on the type of record or 

document. Rule 17Ad–7 also specifies 

the manner in which records may be 

maintained using electronic, microfilm, 

and microfiche storage methods. 

These recordkeeping requirements are 

designed to ensure that all registered 

transfer agents are maintaining the 

records necessary for transfer agents to 

monitor and keep control over their own 

performance and for the Commission to 

adequately examine registered transfer 

agents on an historical basis for 

compliance with applicable rules. 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 600 registered transfer 

agents will spend a total of 300,000 

hours per year complying with Rules 

17Ad–6 and 17Ad–7 (500 hours per year 

per transfer agent). 

The retention period for the 

recordkeeping requirements under Rule 

17Ad–6 is six months to one year. In 

addition, such records must be retained 

for a total of two to six years or for one 

year after termination of the transfer 

agency, depending on the particular 

record or document. The recordkeeping 

requirements under Rules 17Ad–6 and 

17Ad–7 are mandatory to assist the 

Commission and other regulatory 

agencies with monitoring transfer agents 

and ensuring compliance with the rule. 

This rule does not involve the collection 

of confidential information. 

Please note that 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 control number. 

Comments should be directed to: (i) 

Desk Officer for the Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Room 10102, New Executive Office 

Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by 

sending an e-mail to:

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way,
