SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

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. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

• 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). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 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. 

General comments regarding the 

estimated burden hours should be 

directed to the following persons: (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

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Form F–10, OMB Control No. 3235–0380, 

SEC File No. 270–334. 

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 a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Form F–10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a 

registration statement under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) that is used by certain Canadian 

‘‘substantial issuers’’ (those issuers with 

at least 36 calendar months of reporting 

history with a securities commission in 

Canada and a market value of common 

stock of at least C$360 million and an 

aggregate market value of common stock 

held by non-affiliates of at least C$75 

million). The purpose of the information 

collection is to facilitate cross-border 

offerings by specified Canadian issuers. 

Form F–10 is a public document and the 

information provided is mandatory. We 

estimate that Form F–10 takes 25 hours 

per response and is filed by 75 

respondents. We further estimate that 

25% of the 25 hours per response (6.25 

hours) is prepared by the issuer for an 

annual reporting burden of 469 hours 

(6.25 hours per response × 75 

responses). 

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. 

Written comments regarding the 

above information should be directed to 

the following persons: (i) Desk Officer 

for the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10102,
