SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-245, OMB Control No. 3235-0204]

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 19d-3.

    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 (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 19d-
3 (17 CFR 240.19d-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 19d-3 prescribes the form and content of applications to the 
Commission by persons seeking Commission review of final disciplinary 
actions against them taken by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') 
for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The 
Commission uses the information provided in the application filed 
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including: 
(1) Final disciplinary sanctions; (2) denial or conditioning of 
membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions or 
limitations of access to services offered by a SRO or member thereof.
    It is estimated that approximately six respondents will utilize 
this application procedure annually, with a total burden of 
approximately 108 hours, for all respondents to complete all 
submissions. This figure is based upon past submissions. The Commission 
staff estimates that each respondent will submit approximately one 
response and the average number of hours necessary to comply with the 
requirements of Rule 19d-3 is approximately eighteen hours. The average 
cost per hour, to complete each submission, is approximately $101. 
Therefore, it is estimated the internal labor cost of compliance for 
all respondents is approximately $10,908 (6 submissions x 18 hours per 
response x $101 per hour).
    The filing of an application pursuant to Rule 19d-3 is voluntary 
and does not involve the collection of confidential information. Rule 
19d-3 does not have

a record retention requirement. The public may view background 
documentation for this information collection at the following Web 
site, www.reginfo.gov. 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.
    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 send an email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    March 16, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
