SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–298, OMB Control No. 

3235–0337] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Extension: Rule 

17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of the 

existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR 

240.17Ac2–2) and Form TA–2 under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 under 

the Exchange Act require transfer agents 

to file an annual report of their business 

activities with the Commission. These 

reporting requirements are designed to 

ensure that all registered transfer agents 

are providing the Commission with 

sufficient information on an annual 

basis about the transfer agent 

community and to permit the 

Commission to effectively monitor 

business activities of transfer agents. 

The amount of time needed to comply 

with the requirements of amended Rule 

17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 varies. Of the 

total 315 registered transfer agents, 

approximately 9.2% (or 29 registrants) 

would be required to complete only 

questions 1 through 3 and the signature 

section of amended Form TA–2, which 

the Commission estimates would take 

each registrant approximately 30 

minutes, for a total burden of 15 hours 

(29 × .5 hours = 14.5 rounded up to 15). 

Approximately 26.5% of registrants (or 

84 registrants) would be required to 

answer questions 1 through 5, question 

11, and the signature section, which the 

Commission estimates would take 

approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, 

for a total burden of 126 hours (84 × 1.5 

hours). Approximately 64.2% of the 

registrants (or 203 registrants) would be 

required to complete the entire Form 

TA–2, which the Commission estimates 

would take approximately 6 hours, for 

a total burden of 1,218 hours (203 × 6 

hours). The aggregate annual burden on 

all 315 registered transfer agents is thus 

approximately 1,359 hours (15 hours + 

126 hours + 1,218 hours) and the 

average annual burden per transfer 

agent is approximately 4.314 hours 

(1,359 ÷ 315). 

This rule does not involve the 

collection of confidential information. 

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. 

The public may view and comment
