SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0204]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 19d-3

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.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (SEC or ``Commission'') is submitting to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') this request for an extension of the 
proposed collection of information in Rule 19d-3.
    Rule 19d-3 prescribes the form and content of applications to the 
Commission by persons seeking Commission review of final disciplinary 
actions against them taken by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') 
for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The 
Commission uses the information provided in the application filed 
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including: 
(1) final disciplinary sanctions; (2) denial or conditioning of 
membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions or 
limitations of access to services offered by a SRO or member thereof.
    The staff estimates that 25 respondents will file one application 
pursuant to Rule 19b-3 each year. The staff estimates that the average 
number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-3 
is approximately eighteen hours. We estimate that approximately 10 
firms or natural persons would draft the applications themselves, and 
therefore incur an hour burden of 18 hours each (a total hour burden of 
180), and that 16 would hire outside counsel, and therefore incur a 
cost burden of $8,496 each (a total cost burden of $127,440).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated, 
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    The public may view and comment on this information collection 
request at: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202504-3235-003 or email comment to 
[email protected] within 30 days of the day 
after publication of this notice, by September 8, 2025.

    Dated: August 4, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
