Short Statement: The Commission staff has revised its estimate of the overall number of respondents from 12 to 17. The Commission staff notes that there are currently 17 SROs that could be subject to the reporting requirements of Rule 19b-4(e) since the collection of information was last submitted to OMB for approval. The Commission staff has also revised its estimate of the overall number of responses expected annually from 3,180 to 3,879. Based on the number of new derivative securities products that were reported to the Commission in years 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Commission staff believes that this is a more accurate estimate of expected responses.
