Commission may, however, extend the

on each of the proposed rule changes. 

The Commission finds it appropriate to 

designate a longer period within which 

to issue an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule changes 

so that it has sufficient time to consider 

the proposed rule changes, the issues 

raised in the comment letters that have 

been submitted in connection therewith, 

the Participants’ response to the 

comments, and the amendments to the 

proposed rule changes. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 

Act,44 designates January 14, 2018 as the 

date by which the Commission shall 

either approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule changes (File Nos. SR–

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–316, OMB Control No. 

3235–0359] 

Proposed Collection; 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: 

Form N–17f–1 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collections of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Form N–17f–1 (17 CFR 274.219) is 

entitled ‘‘Certificate of Accounting of 

Securities and Similar Investments of a 

Management Investment Company in 

the Custody of Members of National 

Securities Exchanges.’’ The form serves 

as a cover sheet to the accountant’s 

certificate that is required to be filed 

periodically with the Commission 

pursuant to rule 17f–1 (17 CFR 270.17f– 

1) under the Act, entitled ‘‘Custody of 

Securities with Members of National 

Securities Exchanges,’’ which sets forth 

the conditions under which a fund may 

place its assets in the custody of a 

member of a national securities 

exchange. Rule 17f–1 requires, among 

other things, that an independent public 

accountant verify the fund’s assets at the 

end of every annual and semi-annual 

fiscal period, and at least one other time 

during the fiscal year as chosen by the 

independent accountant. Requiring an 

independent accountant to examine the 

fund’s assets in the custody of a member 

of a national securities exchange assists 

Commission staff in its inspection 

program and helps to ensure that the 

fund assets are subject to proper 

auditing procedures. The accountant’s 

certificate stating that it has made an 

examination, and describing the nature 

and the extent of the examination, must 

be attached to Form N–17f–1 and filed 

with the Commission promptly after 

each examination. The form facilitates 

the filing of the accountant’s certificates, 

and increases the accessibility of the 

certificates to both Commission staff 

and interested investors. 

Commission staff estimates that it 

takes: (i) 1 Hour of clerical time to 

prepare and file Form N–17f–1; and (ii) 

0.5 hour for the fund’s chief compliance 

officer to review Form N–17f–1 prior to 

filing with the Commission, for a total 

of 1.5 hours. Each fund is required to 

make 3 filings annually, for a total 

annual burden per fund of 

approximately 4.5 hours.1 Commission 

staff estimates that an average of 6 funds 

currently file Form N–17f–1 with the 

Commission 3 times each year, for a 

total of 18 responses annually.2 The 

total annual hour burden for Form 

N–17f–1 is therefore estimated to be 

approximately 27 hours.3

The estimate of average burden hours 

is made solely for the purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not 

derived from a comprehensive or even 

a representative survey or study of the 

costs of Commission rules. Compliance 

with the collections of information 

required by Form N–17f–1 is mandatory 

for funds that place their assets in the 

custody of a national securities 

exchange member. Responses will not 

be kept confidential. 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. 

The Commission requests written 

comments on: (a) Whether the 

collections of information are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s estimate of the burdens of 

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
