1These matters are higher margin levels, fraud or 

manipulation, recordkeeping, reporting, listing 

standards, or decimal pricing for security futures 

products; sales practices for security futures 

products for persons who effect transactions in 

security futures products; or rules effectuating the 

obligation of Security Futures Product Exchanges 

and Limited Purpose National Securities 

Associations to enforce the securities laws. See 15 

U.S.C. 78s(b)(7)(A). 

2See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57526 

(March 19, 2008), 73 FR 16179 (March 27, 2008). 

3There are currently four Security Futures 

Product Exchanges and one Limited Purpose 

National Securities Association, the National 

Futures Authority. However, two Security Futures 

Product Exchanges currently do not trade security 

futures products and, as a result, have not been 

filing proposed rule changes. Therefore, there are 

currently three respondents to Form 19b–7. 

4SEC staff notes that even though no 

amendments were received in the previous three 

years and that staff does not anticipate the receipt 

of any amendments, calculation of amendments is 

a separate step in the calculation of the PRA burden 

and it is possible that amendments are filed in the 

future. Therefore, instead of removing the 

calculation altogether, staff has shown the 

calculation as anticipating zero amendments.

Extension: 

Rule 19b–7 and Form 19b–7 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq. ‘‘PRA’’), the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or 

‘‘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 

Rule 19b–7 (17 CFR 240.19b–7) and Form 

19b–7–Filings with respect to proposed rule 

changes submitted pursuant to Section 19b(7) 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

The Exchange Act provides a framework 

for self-regulation under which various 

entities involved in the securities business, 

including national securities exchanges and 

national securities associations (collectively, 

self-regulatory organizations or ‘‘SROs’’), 

have primary responsibility for regulating 

their members or participants. The role of the 

Commission in this framework is primarily 

one of oversight; the Exchange Act charges 

the Commission with supervising the SROs 

and assuring that each complies with and 

advances the policies of the Exchange Act. 

The Exchange Act was amended by the 

Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 

2000 (‘‘CFMA’’). Prior to the CFMA, federal 

law did not allow the trading of futures on 

individual stocks or on narrow-based stock 

indexes (collectively, ‘‘security futures 

products’’). The CFMA removed this 

restriction and provided that trading in 

security futures products would be regulated 

jointly by the Commission and the 

Commodity Futures Trading Commission 

(‘‘CFTC’’). 

The Exchange Act requires all SROs to 

submit to the SEC any proposals to amend, 

add, or delete any of their rules. Certain 

entities (Security Futures Product Exchanges) 

would be notice registered national securities 

exchanges only because they trade security 

futures products. Similarly, certain entities 

(Limited Purpose National Securities 

Associations) would be limited purpose 

national securities associations only because 

their members trade security futures 

products. The Exchange Act, as amended by 

the CFMA, established a procedure for 

Security Futures Product Exchanges and 

Limited Purpose National Securities 

Associations to provide notice of proposed 

rule changes relating to certain matters.1 Rule 

19b–7 and Form 19b–7 implemented this 

procedure. Effective April 28, 2008, the SEC 

amended Rule 19b–7 and Form 19b–7 to 

require that Form 19b–7 be submitted 

electronically.2

The collection of information is designed 

to provide the Commission with the 

information necessary to determine, as 

required by the Exchange Act, whether the 

proposed rule change is consistent with the 

Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. The 

information is used to determine if the 

proposed rule change should remain in effect 

or abrogated. 

The respondents to the collection of 

information are SROs. Three respondents file 

an average total of approximately 3 responses 

per year.3 Each response takes approximately 

12.5 hours to complete and each amendment 

takes approximately 3 hours to complete, 

which correspond to an estimated annual 

response burden of 37.5 hours ((3 rule change 

proposals × 12.5 hours) + (0 amendments 4 × 

3 hours)). The average internal cost of 

compliance per response is $4,761 (11.5 legal 

hours multiplied by an average hourly rate of 

$396 5 plus 1 hour of paralegal work
