Rule 17g-10 and Form ABS Due Diligence – 15E
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 (“Commission”) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit an
extension for this current collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for
approval.
Rule 17g-10 (17 CFR 240.17g-10) requires a provider of third-party due diligence
services to provide the written certification required by Section 15E(s)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) on Form ABS Due Diligence-15E (17 CFR
249b.500). Based on Commission staff’s experience, it is estimated that third-party due
diligence service providers would be required to spend, on average, 0.20 hours to complete and
transmit Form ABS Due Diligence-15E, for a total annual burden of 470 hours.1 The cost for a
compliance manager to complete and submit Form ABS Due Diligence-15E pursuant to Rule

This figure is calculated by multiplying the per year average number of offerings of asset-backed securities, as the
term is defined in Section 3(a)(79) of the Exchange Act, which was estimated at 1,410 offerings, by the hour burden
to complete and transmit Form ABS Due Diligence-15E estimated at 0.20 hours (1,410 offerings x 0.20 hours = 470
hours).
17g-10 is estimated at $372 per hour,2 resulting in an industry-wide annual internal cost to thirdparty service providers of $175,000 per year.

The $372 figure for a compliance manager is based on SIFMA’s Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1,800-hour work-year and multiplied by
5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead, as adjusted for inflation using the Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ CPI Inflation Calculator.
