inmates under their jurisdiction housed 

in privately-operated facility, either in 

state or out of state; 

(d) The number of male and female 

inmates in their custody by race and 

Hispanic origin; 

(e) The number of male and female 

inmates under the age of 18 held in their 

system; and 

(f) The number of male and female 

non-citizen inmates held in their 

system. 

For the NPS–1B form, 51 central 

reporters (one from each and the Federal 

Bureau of Prisons) responsible for 

keeping records on inmates will be 

asked to provide information for the 

following categories: 

(a) As of December 31, the number of 

male and female inmates within their 

custody and under their jurisdiction 

with maximum sentences of more than 

one year, one year or less; and 

unsentenced inmates; 

(b) The number of inmates housed in 

privately operated facilities, county or 

other local authority correctional 

facilities, or in other state or Federal 

facilities on December 31; 

(c) Prison admission information in 

the calendar year for the following 

categories: New court commitments, 

parole violators, other conditional 

release violators returned, transfers from 

other jurisdictions, AWOLs and 

escapees returned, and returns from 

appeal and bond; 

(d) Prison release information in the

this information in published reports 

and for the U.S. Congress, Executive 

Office of the President, practitioners, 

researchers, students, the media, and 

others interested in criminal justice 

statistics. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

needed for an average respondent to 

respond to both forms: 51 respondents 

each taking an average 8.0 total hours to 

respond (1.5 hours for the NPS–1A and 

6.5 hours for the NPS–1B). Burden 

hours are up by 255 hours under this 

clearance because we are adding the 

elements from the NPS–1 form 

(approved under OMB number 1121–

0078), with 51 respondents each taking 

an estimated 6 hours to complete. 

However, we are also eliminating the 

previous NPS–1B form due to 

redundancy, 51 respondents at 1.5 

hours each, thus reducing the overall 

burden of the NPS series by 76.5 hours. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 408 annual burden hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

NAR Exemptive Request; OMB Control No. 

3235–XXXX; SEC File No. 270–573. 

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 pre-approval of 

an exemptive request by the National 

Association of Realtors (‘‘NAR’’) 

pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) 

(‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Background 

NAR has requested an exemption 

pursuant to Sections 15(a)(2) and 36(a) 

of the Exchange Act from the brokerdealer registration requirements of 

Section 15(a)(1) and the reporting and 

other requirements of the Exchange Act 

(other than Sections 15(b)(4) and 

15(b)(6)), and the rules and regulations 

thereunder, that apply to a broker or 

dealer that is not registered with the 

Commission. Subject to the conditions 

specified in NAR’s application 

(‘‘Application’’), the requested 

exemption would allow any licensed 

real estate agent or broker who is 

predominantly engaged in and has 

substantial experience in the sale of 

commercial real estate (‘‘Commercial 

Real Estate Professional’’) and the real 

estate brokerage firm with which he or 

she is licensed (‘‘Real Estate Firm’’) 

(collectively, a ‘‘RE Participant’’) to 

receive a real estate advisory fee (‘‘Real 

Estate Advisory Fee’’) from a purchaser 

of an undivided tenant-in-common 

interest in real property (‘‘TIC Interest’’) 

that is offered and sold together with 

other arrangements that cause it to be 

deemed to be a security under the 

federal securities laws (‘‘TIC Security’’). 

Under NAR’s exemptive request, a 

Real Estate Advisory Fee could be paid 

by the purchaser directly or on behalf of 

the purchaser by the sponsor or issuer 

of the TIC Security, which could, 

thereby, reduce the commission or other 

compensation received by a registered 

broker-dealer involved in the TIC 

Security transaction. The Real Estate 

Advisory Fee generally would be paid to 

the Real Estate Firm with which the 

Commercial Real Estate Professional is 

licensed. The Firm would distribute all 

or a previously agreed upon percentage 

of the Real Estate Advisory Fee to the 

Commercial Real Estate Professional 

that signed a buyer’s agent agreement 

with the client and to any other 

Commercial Real Estate Professional or 

Real Estate Firm that was added to the 

agreement with the consent of the 

client. 

Proposed Collections of Information 

The requested exemption would 

contain five collections of information. 

First, the requested exemption would 

require a RE Participant to deliver a 

copy of the executed buyer’s agent 

agreement to the registered brokerdealer acting as a placement agent 

(‘‘Lead Placement Agent’’). The purpose 

of the first collection is to assist in 

implementing the requested exemption 

and monitoring for compliance with the 

exemption’s conditions. The proposed 

delivery requirement is designed to 

ensure that the Lead Placement Agent 

has a copy of the buyer’s agent 

agreement in order to comply with its 

recordkeeping obligations discussed 

below, which would facilitate 

monitoring for compliance. Without this 

collection of information, the 

Commission and applicable selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) would 

be unable to monitor the Lead 

Placement Agent’s compliance. 

Second, the requested exemption 

would require any Commercial Real 

Estate Professional that is to receive, 

directly or indirectly, a portion of a Real 

Estate Advisory Fee to not be subject to 

any ‘‘statutory disqualification,’’ as 

defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the 

Exchange Act (other than subparagraph 

(E) of that section), and to deliver a 

representation in writing to that effect to 

the Lead Placement Agent at closing. 

The purpose of the second collection is 

to ensure that the Lead Placement Agent 

has a copy of the statutory 

disqualification representation in order 

to comply with its recordkeeping 

obligations, which would facilitate 

monitoring for compliance with the 

conditions of the requested exemption. 

Without this collection of information, 

the Commission and applicable SRO 

would be unable to monitor the Lead 

Placement Agent’s compliance. 

Third, the requested exemption 

would require broker-dealers that sell 

the TIC Securities as participating 

brokers (‘‘Selling Broker-Dealers’’) to 

deliver a representation in writing that 

the Selling Broker-Dealer performed a 

suitability analysis to the Lead 

Placement Agent at closing, or, if the 

Selling Broker-Dealer is the Lead 

Placement Agent, to make such a 

representation in writing at closing. The 

purpose of the third collection is to 

ensure that the Lead Placement Agent 

has a copy of the suitability analysis in 

order to comply with its recordkeeping 

obligations, which would facilitate 

monitoring compliance with the 

conditions of the requested exemption. 

Without this collection of information, 

the Commission and applicable SRO 

would be unable to monitor the Lead 

Placement Agent’s compliance and 

would be unable to ensure that the 

Selling Broker-Dealer had conducted an 

appropriate suitability analysis. 

Fourth, the requested exemption 

would require a Selling Broker-Dealer 

that determines that a TIC Security 

transaction is not suitable to obtain a 

written affirmation that the customer 

wants to proceed with the TIC Security 

transaction notwithstanding the Selling 

Broker-Dealer’s determination. It also 

would require the Selling Broker-Dealer 

to deliver the written affirmation to the 

Lead Placement Agent at closing or, if 

the Selling Broker-Dealer is the Lead 

Placement Agent, to maintain the 

written affirmation consistent with the 

record retention provisions of Exchange 

Act Rule 17a–4. The purpose of the 

fourth collection is to ensure that the 

customer is informed if a Selling BrokerDealer determines a transaction is not 

suitable, and, if the customer wants to 

proceed with the transaction, that the 

customer has made such a decision in 

light of the broker-dealer’s 

determination. In addition, the 

proposed delivery requirement is 

designed to ensure that the Lead 

Placement Agent has a copy of the 

customer affirmation in order to comply 

with its recordkeeping obligations, 

which would facilitate monitoring for 

compliance with the conditions of the 

requested exemption. Without this 

collection of information, the 

Commission and applicable SRO would 

be unable to monitor the Lead 

Placement Agent’s compliance and 

would be unable to ensure that the 

Selling Broker-Dealer had conducted a 

suitability analysis and informed the 

client of this determination. 

Fifth, the requested exemption would 

require the Lead Placement Agent to 

maintain a copy of each of the 

documents that is to be made and/or
