File No. 270–621, OMB Control No.

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 an extension for this 

current collection of information to the 

Office of Management and Budget for 

approval. 

The Commission invites comment on 

updates to its Electronic Data Collection 

System database (the Database), which 

will support information provided by 

members of the public who would like 

to file an online tip, complaint or 

referral (TCR) to the Commission. The 

Database will be a web based e-filed 

dynamic report based on technology 

that pre-populates and establishes a 

series of questions based on the data 

that the individual enters. The 

individual will then complete specific 

information on the subject(s) and nature 

of the suspicious activity, using the data 

elements appropriate to the type of 

complaint or subject. The information 

collection is voluntary. The public 

interface to the Database will be 

available using the agency’s Web site, 

www.sec.gov. The Commission 

estimates that it takes a complainant, on 

average, 30 minutes to submit a TCR 

through the Database. Based on the 

receipt of an average of approximately 

16,000 annual TCRs for the past three 

fiscal years, the Commission estimates 

that the annual reporting burden is 

8,000 hours. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether this collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden imposed 

by the 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. 

Background documentation for this 

information collection may be viewed 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_

Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,

OMB within 30 days of this notice.
