Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange

[[Page 10412]]
The Securities and Exchange Commission has begun the design of a
new Electronic Data Collection System database (the Database) and
invites comment on the Database that will support information provided
by the general public that would like to file a tip or complaint with
the SEC. The Database will be a web based e-filed dynamic report based
on technology that pre-populates and establishes a series of questions
based on the data that the individual enters. The individual will then
complete specific information on the subject(s) and nature of the
suspicious activity, using the data elements appropriate to the type of
complaint or subject. The information collection is voluntary. The
first phase of the Database is scheduled to be released as a pilot in
February 2011. Any public suggestions that are received during the
pilot phase will be reviewed and changes will be considered. Phase 2 is
currently scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2011. There are no
costs associated with this collection. The public interface to the
Database will be available using the agency's Web site http://www.sec.gov. Information is voluntary.
Estimated number of annual responses = 25,000.
Estimated annual reporting burden = 12,500 hours (30 minutes per
submission).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this publication. Please direct your
written comments to Thomas Bayer, Chief Information Officer, Securities
and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way,
Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an e-mail to: [email protected].
