SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


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 239; SEC File No. 270-638, OMB Control No. 3235-0687.

    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

[[Page 31802]]

(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 239 (17 CFR 230.239) provides exemptions under the Securities 
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.), the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 
(U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.) for security-based swaps issued by certain 
clearing agencies satisfying certain conditions. The purpose of the 
information required by Rule 239 is to make certain information about 
security-based swaps that may be cleared by the registered or the 
exempt clearing agencies available to eligible contract participants 
and other market participants. We estimate that each registered or 
exempt clearing agency issuing security-based swaps in its function as 
a central counterparty will spend approximately 2 hours each time it 
provides or update the information in its agreements relating to 
security-based swaps or on its website. We estimate that each 
registered or exempt clearing agency will provide or update the 
information approximately 20 times per year. In addition, we estimate 
that 75% of the 2 hours per response (1.5 hours) is prepared internally 
by the clearing agency for a total annual reporting burden of 180 hours 
(1.5 hours per response x 20 times x 6 respondents).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden imposed by 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 unless it displays a 
currently valid control number.
    Please direct your written comment to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace 
Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected].
