Abstract: The amendments to Rule 19b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") are to incorporate two new requirements applicable to clearing agencies under Section 3C of the Exchange Act, as added by Section 763(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Exchange Act Section 3C"), and under Section 806(e) of the Payment, Clearing and Supervision Act ("Section 806(e)"). The amendments to Rule 19b-4 mandate that submissions required under Exchange Act Section 3C for a mandatory clearing determination of any security-based swap, or group, category, type or class of security-based swaps, that a clearing agency plans to accept for clearing, and advance notices required under Section 806(e) of proposed changes to rules, procedures or operations of financial market utilities be filed with the Commission on Form 19b-4. Exchange Act Section 3C also contains collection of information requirements in connection with applications to stay the mandatory clearing requirement.

Emergency Justfication: The reason for this emergency request is that the effective and compliance date for Rule 19b-4(n) is August 13, 2012, 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register, and the respondents will be required to comply with the rule and the related collection of information requirements as of that date.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden has changed for two reasons. First, Commission staff revised its estimate of the time to complete each proposed rule change filing due to a change in the proportion of average versus complex proposed rule change filings, from 4.27% to 5.00%. In addition, since the previous submission with the proposing release, more up-to-date data became available, which impacted these estimates. Second, there are new burdens which result from the amendments to Rule 19b-4, Form 19b-4, and rule 3Ca-1 imposing new collections of information requirements and information technology costs in connection with Securities-Based Swaps Submissions, Advance Notices, stay of mandatory clearing applications, and Section 916 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
