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 (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information

and approval.

Jkt 262001

(15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (‘‘1940 Act’’)
provides exemption from certain
provisions of Sections 22(e) and 27 of
the 1940 Act for registered separate
accounts offering variable annuity
contracts to certain employees of Texas
institutions of higher education
participating in the Texas Optional
Retirement Program. There are
approximately 129 registrants governed
by Rule 6c–7. The burden of compliance
with Rule 6c–7, in connection with the
registrants obtaining from a purchaser,
prior to or at the time of purchase, a
signed document acknowledging the
restrictions on redeemability imposed
by Texas law, is estimated to be
approximately 3 minutes of professional
time per response for each of
approximately 5,900 purchasers
annually (at an estimated $84 per
hour),1 for a total annual burden of 295
hours (at a total annual cost of $24,780).
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not
derived from a comprehensive or even
a representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules or forms. The
Commission does not include in the
estimate of average burden hours the
time preparing registration statements
and sales literature disclosure regarding
the restrictions on redeem ability
imposed by Texas law. The estimate of
burden hours for completing the
relevant registration statements are
reported on the separate PRA
submissions for those statements. (See
the separate PRA submissions for Form
N–3 (17 CFR 274.11b) and Form N–4 (17
CFR 274.11c).)
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of 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
1 $84/hour figure for a Compliance Clerk is based
on the Commission’s estimates concerning the
allocation of burden hours and the relevant wage
rates from the Commission’s consultations with
industry representatives and on salary information
for the securities industry compiled by the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association’s Office Salaries in the Securities
Industry 2013; the estimated wage figures are
modified by Commission staff to account for an
1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 2.93 to
account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits,
overhead, and adjusted to account for the effects of
inflation; see Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association, Report on Management &
Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry
2013.
