Transfer agents must report record mismatches
If you are a registered recordkeeping transfer agent, you must report to issuers and the appropriate regulatory agency when an "aged record difference" (one that has existed more than 30 calendar days) causes the aggregate market value to exceed certain thresholds. You must also report buy-ins and report when you fail to post certificate detail to the master securityholder file within five business days as required by Rule 17Ad-10. Keep a copy of any Rule 17Ad-11 report for at least three years after the report date, with the first year in an easily accessible place.
Estimated minimal time and dollar burden
The Commission estimates about 8 respondents will file a total of approximately 1 Rule 17Ad-11 report annually, with each report taking about 30 minutes. Using an average hourly rate of $78, the Commission estimates an average internal compliance cost of $39 per report and a total annual internal cost for the industry of approximately $39, with a total annual time burden of about 0.5 hours.
