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:
    Regulation R, Rule 701; SEC File No. 270-562, OMB Control No.
3235-0624.

    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
Regulation R, Rule 701 (17 CFR 247.701) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Regulation R, Rule 701 requires a broker or dealer (as part of a
written agreement between the bank and the broker or dealer) to notify
the bank if the broker or dealer makes certain determinations regarding
the financial status of the customer, a bank employee's statutory
disqualification status, and compliance with suitability or
sophistication standards.
    The Commission estimates that brokers or dealers would, on average,
notify 1,000 banks approximately two times annually about a
determination regarding a customer's high net worth or institutional
status or suitability or sophistication standing as well as a bank
employee's statutory disqualification status. Based on these estimates,
the Commission anticipates that Regulation R, Rule 701 would result in
brokers or dealers making approximately 2,000 notifications to banks
per year. The Commission further estimates (based on the level of
difficulty and complexity of the applicable activities) that a broker
or dealer would spend approximately 15 minutes per notice to a bank.
Therefore, the estimated total annual third party disclosure burden for
the requirements in Regulation R, Rule 701 is 500 \1\ hours for brokers
or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ (2000 notices x 15 minutes) = 30,000 minutes/60 minutes =
500 hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection 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,

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:
    Rule 605 of Regulation NMS

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 605 of Regulation NMS
(``Rule 605'') (17 CFR 242.605),\1\ under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) (``Exchange Act''). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval. Rule
605, formerly known as, Rule 11Ac1-5, requires market centers to make
available to the public monthly order execution reports in electronic
form. The Commission believes that many market centers retain most, if
not all, of the underlying raw data necessary to generate these reports
in electronic format. Once the necessary data is collected, market
centers could either program their systems to generate the statistics
and reports, or transfer the data to a service provider (such as an
independent company in the business of preparing such reports or a
self-regulatory organization) that would generate the statistics and
reports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Regulation NMS, adopted by the Commission in June 2005,
redesignated the national market system rules previously adopted
under Section 11A of the Exchange Act. Rule 11Ac1-5 under the
Exchange Act was redesignated Rule 605 of Regulation NMS. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005), 70 FR
37496 (June 29, 2005). In 2018, Commission amended Rule 605(a)(2) to
require market centers to keep reports required pursuant to Rule
605(a)(1) posted on an internet website that is free of charge and
readily accessible to the public for a period of three years from
the initial date of posting on the internet website. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 84528 (November 2, 2018), 83 FR 58338
(November 19, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The collection of information obligations of Rule 605 apply to all
market centers that receive covered orders in national market system
securities. The Commission estimates that approximately 319 market
centers are subject to the collection of information obligations of
Rule 605. Each of these respondents is required to respond to the
collection of information on a monthly basis.
    The Commission staff estimates that, on average, Rule 605 causes
each respondent to spend 6 hours per month to collect the data
necessary to generate the reports, or 72 hours per year. With an
estimated 319 market centers subject to Rule 605, the total data
collection time burden to comply with the monthly reporting requirement
is estimated to be 22,968 hours per year.
    Based on discussions with industry sources, the Commission staff
estimates that an individual market center could retain a service
provider to prepare a monthly report using the data collected for
approximately $2,978 per month or $35,736 per year. This per-respondent
estimate is based on the rate that a market center could expect to
obtain if it negotiated on an individual basis. Based on the $2,978
estimate, the monthly cost to all 319 market centers to retain service
providers to prepare reports would be approximately $949,982, and the
total annual cost for all 319 market centers would be approximately
$11,399,784.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission'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.
    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.
    Please direct your written comments to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email to:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0133; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-107-AD;
Amendment 39-15933; AD 2009-12-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model
BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), which applies to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe
146 and Avro 146-RJ airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive
inspections for corrosion of frames 15, 18, 41, and 43 and applicable
related investigative and corrective actions. The existing AD also
provides an optional action that would extend the repetitive inspection
interval. This new AD also requires a high frequency eddy current
inspection for corrosion of the outer frame flanges and door hinge
bosses of frames 15, 18, 41, and 43. This AD results from a report
indicating that corrosion has been detected in the outer frame flanges
and door hinge bosses during scheduled maintenance. We are issuing this
AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 24, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference

of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 24, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2006-12-09, amendment
39-14634 (71 FR 33602, June 12, 2006). The existing AD applies to all
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February
18, 2009 (74 FR 7565). That NPRM proposed to continue to require
repetitive inspections for corrosion of frames 15, 18, 41, and 43 and
applicable related investigative and corrective actions. The NPRM also
proposed to continue to provide an optional action that would extend
the repetitive inspection interval. In addition, the NPRM proposed to
require a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for corrosion
of the outer frame flanges and door hinge bosses of frames 15, 18, 41,
and 43.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators
to comply with this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
