BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

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 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 17Ad–10; SEC File No. 270–265; 

OMB Control No. 3235–0273. 

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 approval of extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information provided for in Rule 17Ad– 

10 (17 CFR 240.17Ad–10), under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

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

Rule 17Ad–10 requires a registered 

transfer agent to create and maintain 

minimum information on 

securityholders’ ownership of an issue 

of securities for which it performs 

transfer agent functions, including the 

purchase, transfer and redemptions of 

securities. In addition, the rule also 

requires transfer agents that maintain 

securityholder records to keep 

certificate detail that has been deleted 

from those records for a minimum of six 

years and to maintain and keep current 

an accurate record of the number of 

shares or principal dollar amount of 

debt securities that the issuer has 

authorized to be outstanding (a ‘‘control 

book’’). These recordkeeping 

requirements assist in the creation and 

maintenance of accurate securityholder 

records, the ability to research errors, 

and ensure the transfer agent is aware of 

the number of securities that are 

properly authorized by the issuer, 

thereby avoiding overissuance. 

There are approximately 565 

registered transfer agents. The staff 

estimates that the average number of 

hours necessary for each transfer agent 

to comply with Rule 17Ad–10 is 

approximately 20 hours per year, 

totaling 11,300 hours industry-wide. 

The average cost per hour is 

approximately $50 per hour, with the 

industry-wide cost estimated at 

approximately $565,000. However, the 

information required by Rule 17Ad–10 

generally already is maintained by 

registered transfer agents. The amount 

of time devoted to compliance with 

Rule 17Ad–10 varies according to 

differences in business activity. 

The retention period for the 

recordkeeping requirements under Rule 

17Ad–10 is six years for certificate 

detail that has been deleted and to 

maintain and keep current an accurate 

record of the number of shares or 

principal dollar amount of debt 

securities that the issuer has authorized 

to be outstanding. The recordkeeping 

requirement under Rule 17Ad–10 is 

mandatory to ensure accurate 

securityholder records and to assist the 

Commission and other regulatory 

agencies with monitoring transfer agents 

and ensuring compliance with the rule. 

This rule does not involve the collection 

of confidential information. Persons 

should 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. 

Comments should be directed to: (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 

Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by 

sending an e-mail to: 

Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) 

Charles Boucher Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail 

to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments 

must be submitted to OMB within 30 

days of this notice. 

Dated: May 17, 2010. 

Florence E. Harmon, 

Deputy Secretary.
