SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-197, OMB Control No. 3235-0200]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15c3-1

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-
1), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). 
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information 
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and 
approval.
    Rule 15c3-1 requires brokers-dealers to have at all times 
sufficient liquid assets to meet their current liabilities, 
particularly the claims of customers. The rule facilitates the 
monitoring of the financial condition of broker-dealers by the 
Commission and the various self-regulatory organizations. It is 
estimated that broker-dealer respondents registered with the Commission 
and subject to the collection of information requirements of Rule 15c3-
1 incur an aggregate annual time burden of approximately 70,137 hours 
to comply with this rule and an aggregate annual cost burden of 
approximately $135,167.
    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 
estimates of the burden of the proposed 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 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by 
March 27, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John 
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:

Assistant Secretary.
