Proposed Extension of Existing

Extension: 

Interagency Statement on Sound Practices 

Concerning Elevated Risk Complex 

Structured Finance Activities, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0622, SEC File No. 

270–560. 

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 existing collection of information 

provided for in the proposed 

Interagency Statement on Sound 

Practices Concerning Elevated Risk 

Complex Structured Finance Activities 

(‘‘Statement’’) under the Securities 

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

seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’) and the 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 

U.S.C. 80b et seq.) (‘‘Advisers Act’’). The 

Commission plans to submit this 

existing collection of information to the 

Office of Management and Budget for 

extension and approval. 

The Statement was issued by the 

Commission, together with the Office of 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
19242 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 

the Comptroller of the Currency, the 

Board of Governors of the Federal 

Reserve System, the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation, and the Office of 

Thrift Supervision (together, the 

‘‘Agencies’’), in May 2006. The 

Statement describes the types of internal 

controls and risk management 

procedures that the Agencies believe are 

particularly effective in assisting 

financial institutions to identify and 

address the reputational, legal, and 

other risks associated with elevated risk 

complex structured finance 

transactions. 

The primary purpose of the Statement 

is to ensure that these transactions 

receive enhanced scrutiny by the 

institution and to ensure that the 

institution does not participate in illegal 

or inappropriate transactions. 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 5 registered brokerdealers or investment advisers will 

spend an average of approximately 25 

hours per year complying with the 

Statement. Thus, the total compliance 

burden is estimated to be approximately 

125 burden-hours per year. 

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. 

Comments should be directed to

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley
