SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0200]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15c3-1
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.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-
1), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
Rule 15c3-1 requires brokers-dealers to have at all times
sufficient liquid assets to meet their current liabilities,
particularly the claims of customers. The rule facilitates the
monitoring of the financial condition of broker-dealers by the
Commission and the various self-regulatory organizations. It is
estimated that broker-dealer respondents registered with the Commission
and subject to the collection of information requirements of Rule 15c3-
1 incur an aggregate annual time burden of approximately 67,773 hours
to comply with this rule and an aggregate annual cost burden of
approximately $133,867.
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 comment to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief
Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 and send it by email to
