SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0700]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; 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 submitting to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') this request for an extension of the 
proposed collection of information in Rule 18a-4.
    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.
    The public may view and comment on this information collection 
request at: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202507-3235-013">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202507-3235-013</a> or email comment to

    Dated: September 23, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
