SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-410, OMB Control No. 3235-0466]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 103

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    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'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 103 of Regulation M (17 
CFR 242.103), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of 
information to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for 
extension and approval.
    Rule 103--Nasdaq Passive Market Making--permits passive market-
making in Nasdaq securities during a distribution. A distribution 
participant that seeks use of this exception would be required to 
disclose to third parties its intention to engage in passive market 
making.
    There are approximately 428 respondents per year that require an

[[Page 9938]]

aggregate total of approximately 428 hours to comply with this rule. 
Each respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response 
takes approximately 1 hour to complete. Thus, the total hour burden per 
year is approximately 428 hours. The total estimated internal cost of 
compliance for the respondents is approximately $34,668 per year, 
resulting in an estimated internal cost of compliance per response of 
approximately $81 (i.e., $34,668/428 responses).
    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 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
estimates of the burden of the proposed 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 by 
April 17, 2023.
    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: 
[email protected].

    Dated: February 10, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
