    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'') 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 17g-5 (17 CFR 
240.17g-5) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 
seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    Rule 17g-5 requires the disclosure of and establishment of 
procedures to manage certain NRSRO conflicts of interest, prohibits 
certain other NRSRO conflicts of interest, and contains requirements 
regarding the disclosure of information in the case of the conflict of 
interest of an NRSRO issuing or maintaining a credit rating on an 
asset-backed security that was paid for by the issuer, sponsor, or 
underwriter of the security. The Commission previously estimated that 
the total annual burden for respondents to comply with Rule 17g-5 is 
261,295 hours.
    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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
    Background documentation for this information collection may be 
viewed at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be 
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
