    Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), that the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget approval for extensions on the following previously approved 
rules and forms:
    Rule 17Ad-15 requires transfer agents to establish written 
standards for the acceptance or rejection of guarantees of securities 
transfers from eligible guarantor institutions. There are approximately 
800 registered transfer agents subject to the rule's recordkeeping 
requirements. The average burden for each transfer agent is 
approximately 40 hours annually, for a total annual burden of 32,000 
hours.
    Rule 17f-1(b) requires reporting institutions to register with the 
Commission or its designee to participate in the Lost and Stolen 
Securities Program. Approximately 600 respondents incur an average of 
one-half burden hour annually to comply with this rule, for a total 
annual burden of 300 hours.
    Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A require reporting institutions to 
report lost, stolen, missing, and counterfeit securities to a 
centralized database. Approximately 23,000 reporting institutions file 
approximately 667,000 Forms X-17F-1A. The Commission estimates that the 
average burden for each form is 5 minutes, resulting in a total annual 
burden of 55,583 hours.
    Rules 17h-1T and 17h-2T impose reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements on broker-dealers that are associated with other entities, 
other than natural persons. Approximately 250 broker-dealers are 
subject to the rules. It is estimated that the average burden for each 
firm is approximately 14 hours annually, or a cumulative burden of 
3,500 hours.
    Direct general comments to the Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission at the address below. Direct any comments 
concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours for 
compliance with the Commission rules and forms to David T. Copenhafer, 
Acting Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 and 
Desk Officer for Securities and Exchange Commission, Project Numbers 
3235-0409, 3235-0032, 3235-0037, and 3235-0410, Office of Management 
and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 
20503.

    Dated: August 29, 1994.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
