SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-291, OMB Control No. 3235-0328]

Proposed Collection and Comment Request for Form ID

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

Extension:
    Form ID

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Commission

[[Page 86600]]

is soliciting comments on the collection 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 ID (OMB Control No. 3235-0328) must be completed and filed 
with the Commission by all individuals, companies, and other 
organizations who seek access to file electronically on the 
Commission's primary electronic filing system, EDGAR. Those seeking 
access to file on EDGAR typically include those who are required to 
make certain disclosures pursuant to the federal securities laws. The 
information provided on Form ID is an essential part of the security of 
EDGAR. Form ID is a not a public document because it is used solely for 
the purpose of screening applicants and granting access to EDGAR. Form 
ID must be submitted whenever an applicant seeks an EDGAR 
identification number and access codes to file on EDGAR. The Commission 
may consider enhancing the EDGAR access process to require filers that 
already have EDGAR identification numbers but do not have EDGAR access 
codes to submit a Form ID to obtain access codes to file on EDGAR. If 
these enhancements become effective, we estimate that approximately 
48,493 filers will file Form ID annually and that it will take 
approximately 0.15 hours per response to prepare for a total of 7,274 
annual burden hours. The estimate includes the number of filers without 
identification numbers and filers with identification numbers that seek 
to obtain access codes for purposes of submitting electronic filings on 
EDGAR.
    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.
    Written comments are invited on: (i) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (iii) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
and (iv) 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. Consideration will 
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia 
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: December 23, 2020.

Deputy Secretary.
