Extension:

Rule 17f2(e); SEC File No. 27037; OMB Control No. 32350031.

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 approval of extension on the following rule: Rule 17f2(e) (17 CFR 240.17f2(e)).

Rule 17f2(e) requires members of national securities exchanges, brokers, dealers, registered transfer agents, and registered clearing agencies claiming exemption from the fingerprinting requirements of Rule 17f2 to prepare and maintain a statement supporting their claim exemption. This requirement assists the Commission and other regulatory agencies with ensuring compliance with Rule 17f2 (17 CFR 240.17f2).

Notices prepared pursuant to Rule 17f2(e) must be maintained for as long as the covered entity claims an exemption from the fingerprinting requirements of Rule 17f2. The recordkeeping requirement under Rule 17f2(e) is mandatory to assist the Commission and other regulatory agencies with ensuring compliance with Rule 17f2. This rule does not involve the collection of confidential information.

It is estimated that approximately 75 respondents will incur an average burden of 30 minutes per year to comply with this rule, for a total approximate burden of 38 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 control number.

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: Alexander T.Hunt@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) R.
