[Federal Register Volume 84, Number 223 (Tuesday, November 19, 2019)] [Notices] [Pages 63926-63927] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2019-25001] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Submission for OMB Review; 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: Rules 901, 902, 903(a), 904, 905, 906, 907, and 908 of Regulation SBSR, SEC File No. 270-629 OMB Control No. 3235-0718. 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'') 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 in Rules 901, 902, 903(a), 904, 905, 906, 907, and 908 of Regulation SBSR (17 CFR 242.901, 902, 903(a), 904, 905, 906, 907, and 908) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Regulation SBSR consists of ten rules, Rules 900 to 909 under the Exchange Act. Regulation SBSR provides generally for the reporting of security-based swap information to a registered security-based swap data repository (``registered SDRs'') or the Commission, and the public dissemination of security-based swap transaction, volume, and pricing information by registered SDRs. Rule 901 specifies, with respect to each reportable event pertaining to covered transactions, who is required to report, what data must be reported, when it must be reported, where it must be reported, and how it must be reported. Rule 901(a)(1) of Regulation SBSR requires a platform to report to a registered security-based swap data repository (``registered SDR'') a security-based swap executed on such platform that will be submitted to clearing. Rule 901(a)(2)(i) of Regulation SBSR requires a registered clearing agency to report to a registered SDR any security-based swap to which it is a counterparty. Rules 902 to 909 of Regulation SBSR provide additional details as to how such reporting and public dissemination is to occur. The Commission estimates that a total of approximately 4900 entities will be impacted by Regulation SBSR, including registered SDRs, registered security-based swap dealers, registered major securities-based swap participants, registered clearing agencies, platforms, and reporting sides and other market participants. The Commission estimates that the total reporting burden for Regulation SBSR, for all respondents, is approximately 538,257.60 hours initially (which equates to approximately 179,419.20 hours per year when annualized over three years), with a total ongoing burden thereafter of approximately 1,887,021.07 hours per year. Thus, the aggregate yearly burden is approximately [[Page 63927]] 2,066,441 hours (2,066,440.27 rounded up). In addition, the Commission estimates that the total cost for all of Regulation SBSR for all respondents is approximately $21,264,300 initially (which equates to approximately $7,088,100 per year when annualized over three years), with a total ongoing cost thereafter of approximately $80,331,371 per year. Thus, the aggregate annual cost for all respondents is approximately $87,419,472 ($87,419,471.30 rounded up). A detailed break-down of the burdens applicable to each type of entity is provided in the supporting statement. 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. The public may view background documentation for this information collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov.
