SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Rule 17a-19; SEC File No. 270-148; OMB Control No. 3235-0133.
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 (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 17a-19 (17 CFR
240.17a-19) and Form X-17A-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 17a-19 requires national securities exchanges and registered
national securities associations to file a Form X-17A-19 with the
Commission within 5 days of the initiation, suspension or termination
of a member in order to notify the Commission that a change in
designated examining authority may be necessary.
It is anticipated that ten national securities exchanges and
registered national securities associations collectively will make
1,200 total filings annually pursuant to Rule 17a-19 and that each
filing will take approximately 15 minutes. The total burden is
estimated to be approximately 300 total annual hours.
[[Page 41828]]
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) 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.
The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a
valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments to: Thomas Bayer, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or

Dated: July 8, 2011.
