SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–363, OMB Control No. 

3235–0413] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request: Extension: Rule 

17Ad–16 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

20549–2736 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘PRA’’), 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 Rule 17Ad– 

16 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–16) under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.). 

Rule 17Ad–16 requires a registered 

transfer agent to provide written notice 

to the appropriate qualified registered 

securities depository when assuming or 

terminating transfer agent services on 

behalf of an issuer or when changing its 

name or address. In addition, transfer 

agents that provide such notice shall 

maintain such notice for a period of at 

least two years in an easily accessible 

place. This rule addresses the problem 

of certificate transfer delays caused by 

transfer requests that are directed to the 

wrong transfer agent or the wrong 

address. 

We estimate that the transfer agent 

industry submits approximately 15,917 

Rule 17Ad–16 notices to appropriate 

qualified registered securities 

depositories. The staff estimates that the 

average amount of time necessary to 

create and submit each notice is 

approximately 15 minutes per notice. 

Accordingly, the estimated total 

industry burden is 3,979.25 hours per 

year (15 minutes multiplied by 15,917 

notices filed annually). 

Because the information needed by 

transfer agents to properly notify the 

appropriate registered securities 

depository is readily available to them 

and the report is simple and 

straightforward, the cost is relatively 

minimal. The average internal 

compliance cost to prepare and send a 

notice is approximately $86 (15 minutes 

at $344 per hour).1 This yields an 

industry-wide internal compliance cost 

estimate of $1,368,862 (15,917 notices 

multiplied by $86 per notice). 

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.

collection at the following website:
