SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0134]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15c1-7

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 provided for in Rule 15c1-7 (17 CFR 
240.15c1-7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 
seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    Rule 15c1-7 states that any act of a broker-dealer designed to 
effect securities transactions with or for a customer account over 
which the broker-dealer (directly or through an agent or employee) has 
discretion will be considered a fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive 
practice under the federal securities laws, unless a record is made of 
the transaction immediately by the broker-dealer. The record must 
include: (1) the name of the customer, (2) the name, amount, and price 
of the security, and (3) the date and time when such transaction took 
place.
    The Commission estimates that approximately 325 registered broker-
dealers would need to comply with Rule 151-7. The Commission estimates 
that it takes approximately 5 minutes per transaction to comply with 
the rule. The Commission estimates that approximately 400,000 
transactions are effected in discretionary accounts annually, or 
approximately 1,231 transactions per respondent (400,000 transactions/
325 respondents = 1,230.77

[[Page 33015]]

rounded up to 1,231). Thus, the Commission estimates that respondents 
incur an aggregate annual time burden of approximately 33,333 hours per 
year (400,000 transactions per year x 5 minutes per transaction x 1 
hour per 60 minutes) or 103 hours per respondent per year (33,333 total 
hours/325 respondents) to comply with the rule.
    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

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to
