SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-348, OMB Control No. 3235-0394]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15g-5
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 (``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 15g-
5--Disclosure of Compensation of Associated Persons in Connection with
Penny Stock Transactions--(17 CFR 240.15g-5) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15g-5 requires brokers and dealers to disclose to customers
the amount of compensation to be received by their sales agents in
connection with penny stock transactions. The purpose of the rule is to
increase the level of disclosure to investors concerning penny stocks
generally and specific penny stock transactions.
The Commission estimates that approximately 170 broker-dealers will
spend an average of approximately 87 hours annually to comply with the
rule. Thus, the total time burden is approximately 14,790 burden-hours
per year.
Rule 15g-5 contains record retention requirements. Compliance with
the rule is mandatory.
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
