    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 Rule 102 
of Regulation M (17 CFR 242.102), under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 102 prohibits distribution participants, issuers, and selling 
security holders from purchasing activities at specified times during a 
distribution of securities. Persons otherwise covered by these rules 
may seek to use several applicable exceptions such as an exclusion for 
actively traded reference securities and the maintenance of policies 
regarding information barriers between their affiliates.
    There are approximately 998 respondents per year that require an 
aggregate total of 1,898 hours to comply with this rule. Each 
respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes on 
average approximately 1.902 hours to complete. Thus, the total 
compliance burden per year is 1,898 burden hours. The total internal 
compliance cost for all respondents is approximately $123,370.00, 
resulting in a cost of compliance per respondent of approximately 
$124.00 (i.e., $123,370.00/998 responses).
    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.
    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, 
Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an email to: 
Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or by sending an 
email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: March 8, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
