SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION [REMOVED PRIVATE 

FIELD] 

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 17a–6; OMB Control No. 3235–0489; 

SEC File No. 270–433. 

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 extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Rule 17a–6 (17 CFR 240.17a–6) under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

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

securities exchanges, national securities 

associations, registered clearing 

agencies, and the Municipal Securities 

Rulemaking Board (collectively, 

‘‘SROs’’) to destroy or convert to 

microfilm or other recording media 

records maintained under Rule 17a–1, if 

they have filed a record destruction plan 

with the Commission and the 

Commission has declared such plan 

effective. 

There are currently 27 SROs: 17 

National securities exchanges, 1 

national securities association, and 9 

registered clearing agencies. Of the 27 

SROs, 2 SRO respondents have filed a 

record destruction plan with the 

Commission. The staff calculates that 

the preparation and filing of a new 

record destruction plan should take 160 

hours. Further, any existing SRO record 

destruction plans may require revision, 

over time, in response to, for example, 

changes in document retention 

technology, which the Commission 

estimates will take much less than the 

160 hours estimated for a new plan. 

Thus, the total annual compliance 

burden is estimated to be 60 hours per 

year. The approximate cost per hour is 

$305, resulting in a total cost of 

compliance for these respondents of 

$18,300 per year (60 hours @ $305 per 

hour). 

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, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, VA 22312 or by sending an 

e-mail to PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted within 30 

days of this notice. 

Dated: July 23, 2009. 

Elizabeth M. Murphy, 

Secretary.
