SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0625]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;

Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

20549-2736

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 (SEC or ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the

proposed collection of information. Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO set forth

a process for registration as an NRSRO and ongoing disclosure. Rule

17g-1 requires the filing of an application on Form NRSRO to register

as an NRSRO or to register for an additional class of credit ratings.

Form NRSRO lists the information that must be included in the

application.

Currently, there are 11 credit rating agencies registered as NRSROs

with the Commission. Based on staff experience, the Commission

estimates that the ongoing annual burden for respondents to comply with

Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO is 2,322 hours. In addition, the Commission

estimates an industry-wide annual external cost to NRSROs of $4,840 to

comply with the requirements.\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ This cost has been increased by 10 percent since the last

renewal of the collection of information to account for inflation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 OMB Control Number.

Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden

imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (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,

electronic collection techniques or other forms of information

technology.

Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
