An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection,
supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.
The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after
which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Abstract
Regulation E (17 CFR 230.601 - 230.610a) exempts from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (“Securities Act”) securities of small business investment companies (“SBICs”) that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) and closed-end investment companies that elect to be regulated as business development companies (“BDCs”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so long as the aggregate offering price of all securities of the issuer that may be sold within a 12-month period does not exceed $5,000,000 and certain other conditions are met. Rule 607 under Regulation E (17 CFR 230.607) requires SBICs and BDCs to file sales material used in connection with offerings under Regulation E with the SEC at least five days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to its use. Sales material includes advertisements, articles or other communications to be published in newspapers, magazines, or other periodicals; radio and television scripts; and letters, circulars or other written communications proposed to be sent given or otherwise communicated to more than ten persons. SEC staff reviews sales material filed pursuant to Rule 607 for materially misleading statements and omissions. The requirements of Rule 607 are designed to protect investors from the use of false or misleading sales material in connection with Regulation E offerings. |

Rule 139b, Disclosure of Standardized Performance
Key Information
Abstract
Rule 139b under the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.139b) allows unaffiliated broker-dealers participating in a securities offering of a registered investment fund to publish or distribute research reports about the investment fund without these reports being treated as offers that require registration under securities laws. When broker-dealers include performance information in these research reports, they must present it in a standardized format consistent with existing rules. This standardization protects investors from potentially misleading or confusing performance presentations, enable investors to make meaningful comparisons between different investment funds, and maintains market integrity by ensuring research reports are not disguised as marketing materials. Rule 139b is a third party disclosure requirement, with the primary recipients being investors and the general public who read these research reports published by broker-dealers. |

Form R31: Monthly Transaction Reporting for Self-Regulatory Organizations' Rule 31 Fees
Key Information
Abstract
Pursuant to Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. 78ee), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is required to collect fees and assessments from national securities exchanges and national securities associations (collectively, “self-regulatory organizations” or “SROs”) based on the volume of their securities transactions. To collect the proper amounts, the SEC in 2004 adopted Rule 31 (17 CFR 240.31) and Form R31 (17 CFR 249.11) under the Exchange Act whereby each SRO must report to the SEC the volume of its securities transactions and the SEC, based on those data, calculates the amount of fees and assessments that each SRO owes pursuant to Section 31. Rule 31 and Form R31 require each SRO to provide these data on a monthly basis. Without this rule, the SEC would not be able to satisfy its obligations under Section 31. |
