SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.
Extension:
Electronic Data Collection System, SEC File No. 270-621, OMB
Control No. 3235-0672.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit an
extension for this current collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for approval.
The Commission invites comment on updates to its Electronic Data
Collection System database (the Database), which will support
information provided by members of the public who would like to file an
online tip, complaint or referral (TCR) to the Commission. The Database
will be a web based e-filed dynamic report based on technology that
pre-populates and establishes a series of questions based on the data
that the individual enters. The individual will then complete specific
information on the subject(s) and nature of the suspicious activity,
using the data elements appropriate to the type of complaint or
subject. The information collection is voluntary. The public interface
to the Database will be available using the agency's Web site,
www.sec.gov. The Commission estimates that it takes a complainant, on
average, 30 minutes to submit a TCR through the Database. Based on the
receipt of an average of approximately 16,000 annual TCRs for the past
three fiscal years, the Commission estimates that the annual reporting
burden is 8,000 hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information 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. Please direct your written comments to Pamela
Dyson, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F St. NE., Washington, DC 20549;
or send an email to: [email protected].
Dated: June 12, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
