Extension:
    Rule 17g-2; SEC File No. 270-564, OMB Control No. 3235-0628

    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 (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17g-
2 (17 CFR 240.17g-2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    Rule 17g-2, ``Records to be made and retained by nationally 
recognized statistical rating organizations,'' implements the 
Commission's recordkeeping rulemaking authority under Section 17(a) of 
the Exchange Act.\1\ The rule requires a Nationally Recognized 
Statistical Rating Organization (``NRSRO'') to make and retain certain 
records relating to its business and to retain certain other business 
records, if such records are made. The rule also prescribes the time 
periods and manner in which all these records must be retained. There 
are 10 credit rating agencies registered with the Commission as NRSROs 
under section 15E of the Exchange Act, which have already established 
the recordkeeping policies and procedures required by Rule 17g-2. Based 
on staff experience, NRSROs are estimated to spend a total industry-
wide burden of 2,390 annual hours to make and retain the appropriate 
records.

information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No
