Abstract:
Rule 613 requires the national securities exchanges and national securities association ("Participants") to develop and file a national market system (“NMS”) plan to govern the creation, implementation and maintenance of a consolidated audit trail and central repository for the collection of information for NMS securities. The NMS plan must require each SRO and its respective members to provide certain data to the central repository in compliance with Rule 613. The Participants filed the NMS plan required by Rule 613 ("CAT NMS Plan"). This PRA contains the information collections required by Rule 613, as informed by the data provided in the CAT NMS Plan. The Commission approved the NMS plan in November 2016.

Short Statement:
The collection of information associated with the adoption of Rule 613 (Rule 613 - Consolidated Audit Trail-Filing a National Market System Plan) pertained to the development and submission of the CAT NMS Plan. Such NMS plan has been developed and submitted, published for comment in the CAT NMS Plan Notice and subsequently approved by the Commission on November 15, 2016. Changes in annual burden hours of 17,480 have occurred because the Plan has already been submitted, so, as described more fully above, the current costs and burdens of the information collections are now related to implementation of the CAT NMS Plan, rather than the development and submission of the CAT NMS Plan.
