BILLING CODE 8011-01-P 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 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. Eduardo A. Aleman, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc. 2020-28831 Filed 12-29-20; 8:45 am]
