Extension: 

Rule 17Ac2–1 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 17Ac2–1 (17 CFR 

240.17Ac2–1), under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Rule 17Ac2–1, pursuant to Section 

17A(c) of the Exchange Act, generally 

requires transfer agents for whom the 

Commission is the transfer agent’s 

Appropriate Regulatory Agency 

(‘‘ARA’’), to file an application for 

registration with the Commission on 

Form TA–1 and to amend their 

registrations under certain 

circumstances. 

Specifically, Rule 17Ac2–1 requires 

transfer agents to file a Form TA–1 

application for registration with the 

Commission where the Commission is 

their ARA. Such transfer agents must 

also amend their Form TA–1 if the 

existing information on their Form TA– 

1 becomes inaccurate, misleading, or 

incomplete within 60 days following the 

date the information became inaccurate, 

misleading or incomplete. Registration 

filings on Form TA–1 and amendments 

thereto must be filed with the 

Commission electronically, absent an 

exemption, on EDGAR pursuant to 

Regulation S–T (17 CFR 232). 

The Commission annually receives 

approximately 199 filings on Form TA– 

1 from transfer agents required to 

register as such with the Commission. 

Included in this figure are 

approximately 167 amendments made 

annually by transfer agents to their 

Form TA–1 as required by Rule 17Ac2– 

1(c) to address information that has 

become inaccurate, misleading, or 

incomplete and approximately 32 new 

applications by transfer agents for 

registration on Form TA–1 as required 

by Rule 17Ac2–1(a). Based on past 

submissions, the staff estimates that on 

average approximately twelve hours are 

required for initial completion of Form 

TA–1 and that on average one and onehalf hours are required for an 

amendment to Form TA–1 by each such 

firm. Thus, the subtotal burden for new 

applications for registration filed on 

Form TA–1 each year is approximately 

384 hours (12 hours times 32 filers = 

384) and the subtotal burden for 

amendments to Form TA–1 filed each 

year is approximately 251 hours (1.5 

hours times 167 filers = 250.5 rounded 

up to 251). The cumulative total is 

approximately 635 burden hours per 

year (384 hours plus 251 hours). 

Of the approximately 635 hours per 

year associated with Rule 17Ac2–1, the 

Commission staff estimates that (i) sixty 

percent (380.7 hours) are spent by 

compliance staff at an estimated hourly 

wage of $283, for a total of $107,738.10 

per year (380.7 hours × $283 per hour 

= $107,738.10 per year; (ii) forty percent 

(253.8 hours) are spent by attorneys at 

an estimated hourly wage of $380, for a 

total of $96,444 per year (253.8 hours × 

$380 per hour = $96,444 per year); and 

(iii) the total internal cost of compliance 

associated with the Rule is thus 

approximately $204,182.10 per year 

($107,738.10 in compliance staff costs + 

$96,444 in attorney costs = $204,182.10 

per year). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Consideration will be given to 

comments and suggestions submitted in 

writing within 60 days of this 

publication. 

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.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

of a Proposed Rule Change To 

Introduce a New Data Product To Be 

Known as Short Sale Volume Data 

June 10, 2021. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on May 28, 

2021, Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘EDGA’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 

13.8(g) to provide for a new data 

product to be known as Short Sale 

Volume data. The proposal introduces 

Short Sale Volume data that will be 

available for purchase to EDGA 

Members (‘‘Members’’) and nonMembers.3 The proposal is similar to 

products offered by the New York Stock 

Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) and the 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’) 

which provide short sale volume 

information. The Exchange also 

proposes to change the name of Rule 

13.8 to ‘‘Data Products’’ and add a 

preamble to Rule 13.8 to conform to 

Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’) and 

Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BYX’’) Rule 

11.22. 

A description of each market data 

product offered by the Exchange is 

described in Exchange Rule 13.8. The 

Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 13.8(g) 

to introduce and add a description of 

the Short Sale Volume data product. 

The Exchange proposes to describe the 

Short Sale Volume data as ‘‘a data 

product that summarizes short sale 

volume (shares traded on EDGA). Short 

Sale Volume data is available on an endof-day and intraday basis.’’ 

The Exchange proposes to offer Short 

Sale Volume data on an end-of-day and 

intraday basis which will be available 

for purchase by Members and nonMembers. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to offer an end-of-day short 

sale volume report that includes the 

date, session (i.e., Pre-Opening Session,4

Regular Trading Hours,5 or Post-Closing 

Session 6),7 symbol, trade count, buy 

and sell volume, type of sale (i.e., sell, 

sell short, or sell short exempt), capacity 

(i.e., principal, agent, or riskless 

principal), and retail order indicator. 

The end-of-day Short Sale Volume data 

would include same day corrections to 

short sale volume. 

The Exchange also proposes to offer 

Short Sale Volume data on an intraday 

basis that will provide the same 

information to that of end-of-day Short 

Sale Volume data, but will be produced 

and updated every 10 minutes during 

the trading day. Data is captured in 

‘‘snapshots’’ taken every 10 minutes 

throughout the trading day and is 

available to subscribers within five 

minutes of the conclusion of each 10- 

minute period. For example, subscribers 

to the intraday product will receive the 

first calculation of intraday data by 

approximately 9:45 a.m. ET, which 

represents data captured from 9:30 a.m. 

to 9:40 a.m. Subscribers will receive the 

next update by 9:55 a.m., representing 

the data previously provided aggregated 

with data captured through 9:50 a.m., 

and so forth. Each update will represent 

combined data captured from the 

current ‘‘snapshot’’ and all previous 

‘‘snapshots’’ and thus will provide short 

sale volume data on an aggregate basis. 

The intraday Short Sale Volume data 

will not include same day corrections, 

as proposed in the end-of-day data. The 

proposed data products provide 

proprietary EDGA trade data and do not 

include trade data from any other 

exchange. 

The proposed end-of-day and intraday 

Short Sale Volume data will be available 

for purchase on a monthly subscription 

basis. Subscribers to the end-of-day 

Short Sale Volume data will receive a 

daily end-of-day file. Similarly, 

subscribers to the intraday Short Sale 

Volume data will receive data which 

will be produced and updated every 10 

minutes as described above. 

Additionally, end-of-day and intraday 

Short Sale Volume data will be available 

on a historical basis for purchase as far 

back as January 3, 2017.8 The 

subscription files and historical ad hoc 

files will include the same data points. 

Further, the Exchange will establish a 

monthly subscriber fee and historical ad 

hoc fee for the Short Sale Volume data 

by way of a separate proposed rule 

change, which the Exchange will submit 

in connection with the launch of the 

Short Sale Volume data product. 

The Exchange anticipates a wide 

variety of market participants to 

purchase Short Sale Volume data, 

including, but not limited to active 

equity trading firms and academic 

institutions. For example, the Exchange 

notes that academic institutions may 

utilize Short Sale Volume data and as a 

result promote research and studies of 

the equities industry to the benefit of all 

market participants. The Exchange 

believes the proposed Short Sale 

Volume data products may also provide 

helpful trading information regarding 

investor sentiment that may allow 

market participants to make better 

trading decisions throughout the day 

and may be used to create and test 

trading models and analytical strategies 

and provides comprehensive insight 

into trading on the Exchange. For 

example, Short Sale Volume data may 

allow a market participant to identify 

the source of selling pressure and 

whether it is long or short. Further, it 

may provide more visibility into 

increasing and decreasing retail interest 

in a specific security. The proposal is a 

completely voluntary product, in that 

the Exchange is not required by any rule 

or regulation to make this data available 

and that potential subscribers may 

purchase it only if they voluntarily 

choose to do so. The Exchange notes 

that other exchanges offer similar data 

products.9

Based on the above proposal, the 

Exchange also proposes to amend the 

name of Rule 13.8 from ‘‘EDGA Book 

Feeds’’ to ‘‘Data Products’’. Such an 

amendment would accurately describe 

the Rule as the proposed product is not 

a book feed, but rather a data product. 

Further, the existing data feeds 

identified in Rule 13.8 are also data 

products. The Exchange also proposes 

to add the following preamble to Rule 

13.8: ‘‘The Exchange offers the 

following data products free of charge, 

unless otherwise noted in the 

Exchange’s fee schedule’’. The proposed 

language conforms to rule text provided 

in BZX and BYX Rules 13.8. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b) of the Act,10 in general, and furthers 

the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 16, 2021 / Notices 32101 

11 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

13See Supra note 9. 

14See https://nasdaqtrader.com/ 

Trader.aspx?id=shortsale. 15See Supra note 9. 16 Id. 

Act,11 in particular, in that it is designed 

to prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system, and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. Additionally, the 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Section 

6(b)(5) 12 requirement that the rules of 

an exchange not be designed to permit 

unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

In adopting Regulation NMS, the 

Commission granted self-regulatory 

organizations (‘‘SROs’’) and brokerdealers increased authority and 

flexibility to offer new and unique 

market data to the public. It was 

believed that this authority would 

expand the amount of data available to 

consumers, and also spur innovation 

and competition for the provision of 

market data. The Exchange believes that 

the proposed Short Sale Volume data 

would further broaden the availability 

of U.S. equity market data to investors 

consistent with the principles of 

Regulation NMS. The proposal also 

promotes increased transparency 

through the dissemination of Short Sale 

Volume data. The proposed rule change 

would benefit investors by providing 

access to the Short Sale Volume data, 

which may promote better informed 

trading. Particularly, information 

regarding Short Sale Volume may allow 

a market participant to identify the 

source of selling pressure and whether 

it is long or short. Further, it may 

provide more visibility into increasing 

and decreasing retail interest in a 

specific security. 

Moreover, other exchanges offer 

similar data products.13 Nasdaq offers a 

daily short sale volume report and 

NYSE offers the TAQ group short sales 

and short volume product, which 

provide similar information to that 

included in the proposed end-of-day 

Short Sale Volume data product. The 

Nasdaq daily short sale volume file 

reflects the aggregate number of shares 

executed on Nasdaq, BX and PSX 

during regular trading hours.14

Specifically, the Nasdaq daily short sale 

volume provides the following 

information: Date, symbol, volume 

during regular trading hours, and CTA 

market identifier. The NYSE daily short 

volume file reflects a summary of short 

sale volume for securities traded on 

NYSE, NYSE American, NYSE Arca, 

NYSE National, and NYSE Chicago. 

Specifically, the NYSE short sales and 

short volume product provides the 

following information: Date, symbol, 

short exempt volume, short volume, 

total volume of the short sale 

transaction, and market identifier. NYSE 

and Nasdaq also offer monthly short 

sale volume reports which offer 

different information than that provided 

in their daily short sale reports. 

The Exchange proposes to include 

different and additional data in the 

proposed products. Specifically, the 

Exchange proposes to include session 

information, trade count, capacity, and 

a retail order indicator in the proposed 

data product which are not currently 

provided in either the NYSE or Nasdaq 

short sale volume product offerings. 

Further, the Exchange proposes to offer 

an intraday Short Sale Volume data 

product, which is not offered by other 

exchanges. The Exchange believes the 

additional data points and the intraday 

data will benefit market participants 

because they will provide visibility into 

market activity that is not currently 

available. Further it will allow market 

participants to better understand the 

changing risk environment on a daily 

and intraday basis. Therefore, the 

Exchange believes it is reasonable to 

include such data in the proposed 

products. 

The Exchange believes the proposal to 

change the name of Rule 13.8 to ‘‘Data 

Products’’ is reasonable because the 

proposed Short Sale Volume report is 

not a book feed, and thus ‘‘EDGA Book 

Feeds’’ does not accurately describe all 

of the paragraphs under Rule 13.8. The 

Exchange also believes the proposal to 

add the preamble to Rule 13.8 is 

reasonable because it will eliminate 

potential investor confusion as to which 

data products the Exchange charges a 

fee. Furthermore, both of the 

aforementioned changes to Rule 13.8 are 

identical to the text of BZX and BYX 

Rule 11.22. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will result in 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. Rather, the 

Exchange believes that the proposal will 

promote competition by permitting the 

Exchange to offer data products similar 

to those offered by other competitor 

equities exchanges.15 The Exchange is 

proposing to introduce Short Sale 

Volume data in order to keep pace with 

changes in the industry and evolving 

customer needs, and believes this 

proposed rule change would contribute 

to robust competition among national 

securities exchanges. As noted, at least 

two other U.S. equity exchanges offer a 

market data product that is similar to 

the proposed Short Sale Volume data.16

As a result, the Exchange believes this 

proposed rule change permits fair 

competition among national securities 

exchanges. Therefore, the Exchange 

does not believe the proposed rule 

change will result in any burden on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period (i) 

as the Commission may designate up to 

90 days of such date if it finds such 

longer period to be appropriate and 

publishes its reasons for so finding or 

(ii) as to which the Exchange consents, 

the Commission shall: (a) By order 

approve or disapprove such proposed 

rule change, or (b) institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

Extension: 

Exchange Act Rules 13n–1—13n–12; Form 

SDR 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

provided for in Rules 13n–1 through 

13n–12 (17 CFR 240.13n–1 through 

240.13n–12) and Form SDR (‘‘Rules’’), 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(n)(3) et seq.). The 

Commission plans to submit this 

existing collection of information to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Under the Rules, security-based swap 

data repositories (‘‘SDRs’’) are required 

to register with the Commission by 

filing a completed Form SDR (the filing 

of a completed Form SDR also 

constitutes an application for 

registration as a securities information 

processor (‘‘SIP’’)). SDRs are also 

required to abide by certain minimum 

standards set out in the Rules, including 

a requirement to update Form SDR, 

abide by certain duties and core 

principles, maintain data in accordance 

with the rules, keep systems in 

accordance with the Rules, keep 

records, provide reports to the 

Commission, maintain the privacy of 

security-based swaps (‘‘SBSs’’) data, 

make certain disclosures, and designate 

a Chief Compliance Officer. In addition, 

there are a number of collections of 

information contained in the Rules. The 

information collected pursuant to the 

Rules is necessary to carry out the 

mandates of the Dodd-Frank Act and 

help ensure an orderly and transparent 

market for SBSs. 

Assuming a maximum of ten SDRs, 

the Commission estimates that the total 

reporting burden for all of the Rules and 

Form SDR for all respondents is 463,493 

hours initially, with a total annual 

burden thereafter of 270,511.70 hours 

totaling approximately 1,275,028 hours. 

This equates to approximately 

425,009.29 hours per year when 

annualized over three years. In addition, 

the Commission estimates that the total 

cost for all of the Rules and Form SDR 

for all respondents is approximately 

$103,364,700 initially, with a total 

annual cost thereafter of $65,227,720 

totaling approximately $299,047,860. 

This equates to $99,682,619.90 per year 

when annualized over three years. A 

detailed break-down of the estimated 

burdens and costs is provided in the 

supporting statement. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to
