SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-242, OMB Control No. 3235-0206]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Extension: Rule 19d-1

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 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), 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 19d-
1 (17 CFR 240.19d-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    Rule 19d-1 prescribes the form and content of notices to be filed 
with the Commission by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') for 
which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency concerning 
the following final SRO actions: (1) disciplinary actions with respect 
to any person; (2) denial, bar, prohibition, or limitation of 
membership, participation or association with a member or of access to 
services offered by an SRO or

[[Page 36556]]

member thereof; (3) summarily suspending a member, participant, or 
person associated with a member, or summarily limiting or prohibiting 
any persons with respect to access to or services offered by the SRO or 
a member thereof; and (4) delisting a security.
    The Rule enables the Commission to obtain reports from the SROs 
containing information regarding SRO determinations to delist a 
security, discipline members or associated persons of members, deny 
membership or participation or association with a member, and similar 
adjudicated findings. The Rule requires that such actions be promptly 
reported to the Commission. The Rule also requires that the reports and 
notices supply sufficient information regarding the background, factual 
basis and issues involved in the proceeding to enable the Commission: 
(1) to determine whether the matter should be called up for review on 
the Commission's own motion; and (2) to ascertain generally whether the 
SRO has adequately carried out its responsibilities under the Exchange 
Act.
    It is estimated that approximately 19 respondents will file a total 
of approximately 912 submissions per year (an average of 48 per 
respondent). The Commission estimates that the average number of hours 
necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-1 for each 
submission is 1 hour. The total annual burden for all respondents is 
thus 912 hours. The Commission estimates that the internal compliance 
cost per respondent is approximately $319 per response. The annual 
internal cost of compliance for all respondents is thus approximately 
$290,928 (19 respondents x 48 responses x $319 per response).
    The filing of notices pursuant to Rule 19d-1 is mandatory for the 
SROs, but does not require the collection of confidential information.
    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.

collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this

Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent by July 18, 2022 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to:

    Dated: June 13, 2022.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
