SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-146, OMB Control No. 3235-0134]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15c1-7
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F St 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 15c1-7 (17 CFR 240.15c1-
7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
(``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to submit this existing
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 15c1-7 states that any act of a broker-dealer designed to
effect securities transactions with or for a customer account over
which the broker-dealer (directly or through an agent or employee) has
discretion will be considered a fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive
practice under the federal securities laws, unless a record is made of
the transaction immediately by the broker-dealer. The record must
include (a) the name of the customer, (b) the name, amount, and price
of the security, and (c) the date and time when such transaction took
place.
The Commission estimates that 350 respondents collect information
related to approximately 400,000 transactions annually under Rule 15c1-
7 and that each respondent would spend approximately 5 minutes on the
collection of information for each transaction, for a total time burden
of approximately 33,333 hours per year (approximately 95.2 hours per
respondent).
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
October 13, 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
