Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 17g-10 and Form ABS Due 
Diligence-15 E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a

    Rule 17g-10 contains certain certification requirements for third-
party due diligence service providers that are employed by an NRSRO, an 
issuer, or an underwriter, which must be made on Form ABS Due 
Diligence-15E. The Commission estimates that the total burden for 
respondents to comply with Rule 17g-10 is 238 hours.
    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 on 
respondents; 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.
    The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Pamela Dyson, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
