SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-349, OMB Control No. 3235-0395]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15g-6
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-
6--Account Statements for Penny Stock Customers--(17 CFR 240.15g-6)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15g-6 requires brokers and dealers that sell penny stocks to
provide their customers monthly account statements containing
information with regard to the penny stocks held in customer accounts.
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 78 hours annually to comply with this
rule. Thus, the total compliance burden is approximately 13,260 burden-
hours 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
