SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-423, OMB Control No. 3235-0472]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15c1-6

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. 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 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 15c1-6 (17 CFR 240.15c1-
6) 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 15c1-6 states that any broker-dealer trying to sell to or buy 
from a customer a security in a primary or secondary distribution in 
which the broker-dealer is participating or is otherwise financially 
interested must give the customer written notification of the broker-
dealer's participation or interest at or before completion of the 
transaction. The Commission estimates that approximately 350 
respondents will collect information annually under Rule 15c1-6 and 
that each respondent will spend approximately 10 hours annually 
complying with the collection of information requirement for a total 
burden of approximately 3,500 hours per year in the aggregate.
    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 
September 25, 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.
