BILLING CODE 8011-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [SEC File No. 270-656, OMB Control No. 3235-0715] Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request *Upon Written Request, Copies Available From:* U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736. *Extension:* Rules 3a71-6 Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (“PRA”) (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 Rule 3a71-6 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a *et seq.* ).
Rule 3a71-6 provides that non-U.S. security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants may comply with certain Exchange Act requirements via compliance with requirements of a foreign financial regulatory system that the Commission has determined by order to be comparable to those Exchange Act requirements, taking into account the scope and objectives of the relevant foreign requirements, and the effectiveness of supervision and enforcement under the foreign regulatory regime.
Requests for substituted compliance may come from parties or groups of parties that may rely on substituted compliance, or from foreign financial authorities supervising such parties or their security-based swap activities. In practice, the Commission expects that the greater portion of any such substituted compliance requests will be submitted by foreign financial authorities. For purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Commission estimates that three security-based swap dealers or major security-based swap participants will submit substituted compliance applications.
The Commission staff estimates that the one-time reporting burden associated with making each substituted compliance request pursuant to Rule 3a71-6 would occur in the first year and would be approximately 80 hours of in-house counsel time, or 240 aggregate hours across the three entities. The Commission staff estimates that the total costs associated with each substituted compliance request would occur in the first year and would be appropriately $84,000 for outside counsel, or $252,000 in the aggregate across the three entities.
Annualized over three years, the time burden is 26.67 hours per respondent per year for a total burden of 80 hours per year for all respondents. Annualized over three years, the cost burden is $28,000 per respondent per year for a total cost burden of $84,000 per year for all respondents. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
