SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0700]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 18a-4
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 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
proposed collection of information.
Rule 18a-4, 17 CFR 240.18a-4, establishes segregation requirements
for cleared and non-cleared security-based swap transactions, which
applies to non-broker-dealer security-based swap dealers (``SBSDs'')
(i.e., bank SBSDs and nonbank stand-alone SBSDs), as well as
notification requirements for non-broker-dealer SBSDs and major
security-based swap participants. The collection of information
requirements in the rule facilitates the process by which the
Commission and its staff monitor how SBSDs are fulfilling their
custodial responsibilities to security-based swap customers. They also
alert counterparties to the alternatives available to them with respect
to segregation of non-cleared security-based swaps. The aggregate
annual burden for all respondents is estimated to be 8,497 hours.
The collections of information in the rule are mandatory. The
information is kept confidential to the extent permitted by the Freedom
of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 et seq.).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated,
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to

second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal
Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.
