SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Upon written request, copies available
from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and
Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.
Extension: Rule 248.30; SEC File No. 270–
549; OMB Control No. 3235–0610.
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’’) plans to submit to the
PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information for rule 248.30 under
Regulation S-P (17 CFR 248.30), titled
‘‘Procedures to Safeguard Customer
Records and Information; Disposal of
Consumer Report Information.’’
Rule 248.30 (the ‘‘safeguard rule’’)
requires brokers, dealers, investment
companies, and investment advisers
registered with the Commission
(‘‘registered investment advisers’’)
(collectively ‘‘covered institutions’’) to
adopt written policies and procedures
for administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards to protect customer
records and information. The safeguards
must be reasonably designed to ‘‘insure
the security and confidentiality of
customer records and information,’’
‘‘protect against any anticipated threats
or hazards to the security and integrity’’
of those records, and protect against
unauthorized access to or use of those
records or information, which ‘‘could
result in substantial harm or
inconvenience to any customer.’’ The
safeguard rule’s requirement that
covered institutions’ policies and
procedures be documented in writing
constitutes a collection of information
and must be maintained on an ongoing
basis. This requirement eliminates
uncertainty as to required employee
actions to protect customer records and
information and promotes more
systematic and organized reviews of
safeguard policies and procedures by
institutions. The information collection
also assists the Commission’s
examination staff in assessing the
existence and adequacy of covered
institutions’ safeguard policies and
procedures.
The Commission staff estimates that
approximately 449 new entities are
subject to the requirements of the
safeguard rule’s documentation
requirement each year. Of these, we
estimate that 389 will be small entities,
and that on average a small entity will
spend an average of 15 hours to develop
and document its safeguard policies and
procedures. The Commission staff
therefore estimates a one-time hour
burden for these new, smaller entities of
5,835 hours. We estimate that 60
additional large institutions will be
subject to the rule, and that on average
each new large institution will spend
715 hours to develop and document
their safeguard policies and procedures,
for a one-time burden of 42,900 hours.
Thus, we estimate a one-time hour
burden for new entities of 48,735 hours
per year.
The Commission staff also estimates
that 2,080 institutions review and
06JNN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 6, 2007 / Notices
update their policies and procedures
under the rule each year. We estimate
that 815 of these institutions are smaller
entities that spend an average of 6 hours
reviewing and updating their policies
and procedures once per year, or 4,890
hours annually. We estimate that an
additional 1,265 larger institutions
spend an average of 30 hours to review
and update their safeguard policies and
procedures, or 37,950 hours each year.
Accordingly, we estimate that the
annual burden for covered institutions
that review and update their safeguard
policies and procedures is 42,840 hours.
We therefore estimate a total of 2,529
respondents and an annual burden of
91,575 hours associated with the rule’s
collection of information requirement.
These estimates of average burden
hours are made solely for the purposes
of the Paperwork Reduction Act. 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. The safeguard rule does not
require the reporting of any information
or the filing of any documents with the
Commission. The collection of
information required by the safeguard
rule is mandatory.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed 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 of 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.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Upon Written Request; Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and

Extension: Form F–6; OMB Control No.
3235–0292; SEC File No. 270–270.
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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
The Commission exercised its
authority under Section 19 of the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) to establish Form F–6 for
registration of American Depositary
Receipts (ADRs) of foreign companies.
Form F–6 requires disclosure of
information regarding the terms of the
depository bank, fees charged, and a
description of the ADRs. No special
information regarding the foreign
company is required to be prepared or
disclosed, although the foreign company
must be one which periodically
furnishes information to the
Commission. The information is needed
to ensure that investors in ADRs have
full disclosure of information
concerning the deposit agreement and
the foreign company. Form F–6 takes
approximately 1 hour per response to
prepare and is filed by 150 respondents
annually. We estimate that 25% of the
1 hour per response (.25 hours) is
prepared by the filer for a total annual
reporting burden of 37.5 hours (.25
hours per response × 150 responses).
The information provided on Form F–
6 is mandatory to best ensure full
disclosure of ADRs being issued in the
U.S. All information provided to the
Commission is available for public
review upon request.
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 regarding the
above information should be directed to
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer

Commission, Office of Information and
