SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-669, OMB Control No. 3235-0749]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 18a-7
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
[[Page 47190]]
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'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of
the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule
18a-7, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.).
Rule 18a-7 establishes reporting requirements applicable to stand-
alone security-based swap dealers (``SBSDs''), stand-alone major
security-based swap participants (``MSBSPs''), bank SBSDs, and bank
MSBSPs. Rule 18a-7 is modeled on Exchange Act Rule 17a-5, which applies
to broker-dealers, but Rule 18a-7 does not include a parallel
requirement for every requirement in Rule 17a-5 because some of the
requirements in Rule 17a-5 relate to activities that are not expected
or permitted of SBSDs and MSBSPs.
Under Rule 18a-7, stand-alone SBSDs and stand-alone MSBSPs are
required to file the FOCUS Report Part II and the annual reports, while
bank SBSDs and bank MSBSPs are required to file the FOCUS Report Part
IIC. Stand-alone SBSDs and stand-alone MSBSPs are required to file the
FOCUS Report Part II on a monthly basis, whereas bank SBSDs and bank
MSBSPs are required to file FOCUS Report Part IIC on a quarterly basis.
Moreover, under Rule 18a-7 stand-alone SBSDs and stand-alone MSBSPs are
required to make available to customers an audited statement of
financial condition with appropriate notes on their public website.
The Commission estimates that the total hour burden under Rule 18a-
7 is approximately 2,796 hours per year, and the total cost burden is
approximately $2,424,016 per year.
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.

collection at the following website: <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. Find this
