SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 17Ad-4(b) & (c), OMB Control No. 3235-0341, SEC File No.
270-264.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in Rule 17Ad-4(b) and (c) (17
CFR 240.17Ad-4(b) and (c)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17Ad-4(b) & (c) (17 CFR 240.17Ad-4) is used to document when
transfer agents are exempt, or no longer exempt, from the minimum
performance standards and certain recordkeeping provisions of the
Commission's transfer agent rules. Rule 17Ad-4(c) sets forth the
conditions under which a registered transfer agent loses its exempt
status. Once the conditions for exemption no longer exist, the transfer
agent, to keep the appropriate regulatory authority (``ARA'') apprised
of its current status, must prepare, and file if the ARA for the
transfer agent is the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(``BGFRS'') or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (``FDIC''), a
notice of loss of exempt status under paragraph (c). The transfer agent
then cannot claim exempt status under Rule 17Ad-4(b) again until it
remains subject to the minimum performance standards for non-exempt
transfer agents for six consecutive months. The ARAs use the
information contained in the notice to determine whether a registered
transfer agent qualifies for the exemption, to determine when a
registered transfer agent no longer qualifies for the exemption, and to
determine the extent to which that transfer agent is subject to
regulation.
    The BGFRS receives approximately two notices of exempt status and
two notices of loss of exempt status annually. The FDIC also receives
approximately two notices of exempt status and two notices of loss of
exempt status annually. The Commission and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (``OCC'') do not require transfer agents to
file a notice of exempt status or loss of exempt status. Instead,
transfer agents whose ARA is the Commission or OCC need only to prepare
and maintain these notices. The Commission estimates that approximately
ten notices of exempt status and ten notices of loss of exempt status
are prepared annually by transfer agents whose ARA is the Commission.
We estimate that the transfer agents for whom the OCC is their ARA
prepare and maintain approximately five notices of exempt status and
five notices of loss of exempt status annually. Thus, a total of
approximately thirty-eight notices of exempt status and loss of exempt
status are prepared and maintained by transfer agents annually. Of
these thirty-eight

notices, approximately eight are filed with an ARA. Any additional
costs associated with filing such notices would be limited primarily to
postage, which would be minimal. Since the Commission estimates that no
more than one-half hour is required to prepare each notice, the total
annual burden to transfer agents is approximately nineteen hours.
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of Management (OMB) control number.
    Background documentation for this information collection may be
viewed at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted within 30 days of this
notice.

    Dated: August 29, 2012.

Deputy Secretary.
