more complete overview of the national 

program for regulating radioactive 

materials. This information would be 

used in the decision-making of the 

Commission. With Agreement States 

and as part of the NRC’s cooperative 

post-agreement program with the States 

pursuant to section 274(b), information 

on licensing and inspection practices, 

and/or incidents, and other technical 

and statistical information are 

exchanged. Therefore, information 

requests sought may take the form of 

surveys, e.g., telephonic and electronic 

surveys/polls and facsimiles. 

Submit, by March 9, 2015, comments 

that address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection be minimized, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology?

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

Extension: 

Regulation AC—SEC File No. 270–517, 

OMB Control No. 3235–0575. 

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 

extension of the existing collection of 

information provided for in Regulation 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Notices 1053 

Analyst Certification (AC) (17 CFR 

242.500–505), under the Securities 

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

seq.). 

Regulation AC requires that research 

reports published, circulated, or 

provided by a broker or dealer or 

covered person contain a statement 

attesting that the views expressed in 

each research report accurately reflect 

the analyst’s personal views and 

whether or not the research analyst 

received or will receive any 

compensation in connection with the 

views or recommendations expressed in 

the research report. Regulation AC also 

requires broker-dealers to, on a quarterly 

basis, make, keep, and maintain records 

of research analyst statements regarding 

whether the views expressed in public 

appearances accurately reflected the 

analyst’s personal views, and whether 

any part of the analyst’s compensation 

is related to the specific 

recommendations or views expressed in 

the public appearance. Regulation AC 

also requires that research prepared by 

foreign persons be presented to U.S. 

persons pursuant to Securities Exchange 

Act Rule 15a–6 and that broker-dealers 

notify associated persons if they would 

be covered by the regulation. Regulation 

AC excludes the news media from its 

coverage. 

The collections of information under 

Regulation AC are necessary to provide 

investors with information with which 

to determine the value of the research 

available to them. It is important for an 

investor to know whether an analyst 

may be biased with respect to securities 

or issuers that are the subject of a 

research report. Further, in evaluating a 

research report, it is reasonable for an 

investor to want to know about an 

analyst’s compensation. Without the 

information collection, the purposes of 

Regulation AC could not be met. 

The Commission estimates that 

Regulation AC imposes an aggregate 

annual time burden of approximately 

25,395 hours on 5,186 respondents, or 

approximately 5 hours per respondent. 

The Commission estimates that the total 

annual internal cost of compliance 

attributable to the 25,395 hours is 

approximately $11,616,150.00, or 

approximately $2,239.90 per 

respondent, annually. 

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 background 

documentation for this collection at the 

following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. 

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 

email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@

Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,

Extension: 

Rule 24b–1; SEC File No. 270–205; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0194. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for 

extension and approval, Rule 24b–1 (17 

CFR 240.24b–1)—Documents to be Kept 

Public by Exchanges. 

Rule 24b–1 under the Securities 

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

seq.) requires a national securities 

exchange to keep and make available for 

public inspection a copy of its 

registration statement and exhibits filed 

with the Commission, along with any 

amendments thereto. 

There are 18 national securities 

exchanges that spend approximately 

one half hour each complying with this 

rule, for an aggregate total compliance 

burden of 9 hours per year. The staff 

estimates that the average cost per 

respondent is $65.18 per year, 

calculated as the costs of copying 

($13.97) plus storage ($51.21), resulting 

in a total cost of compliance for the 

respondents of $1,173.24. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be 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 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: Pamela Dyson, Acting Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, 

DC 20549, or send an email to: PRA_
