there are 10 credit rating agencies registered as NRSROs with the 
Commission. Based on staff experience and comments received during the 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information, the Commission estimates that the revised ongoing annual 
burden for respondents to comply with Rule 17g-1 and Form NRSRO is 
2,750 hours. In addition, the Commission estimates an industry-wide 
annual external cost to NRSROs of $4,000 to comply with the 
requirements.
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a 
valid OMB control number.
    Background documentation for this information collection may be 
viewed 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
