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 (‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. The title for the collection of information is ‘‘Rule 204–3 (17 CFR 275.204–3) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.’’ (15 U.S.C. 80b). Rule 204–3, the ‘‘brochure rule,’’ requires advisers to deliver their brochures and brochure supplements at the start of an advisory relationship and to deliver annually thereafter the full updated brochures or a summary of material changes to their brochures. The rule also requires that advisers deliver amended brochures or brochure supplements (or just a statement describing the amendments) to clients only when disciplinary information in the brochures or supplements becomes materially inaccurate. The brochure assists the client in determining whether to retain, or continue employing, the adviser. The information that Rule 204–3 requires to be contained in the brochure is also used by the Commission and staff in its enforcement, regulatory, and examination programs. This collection of information is found at 17 CFR 275.204–3 and is mandatory. The respondents to this information collection are investment advisers registered with the Commission. The Commission has estimated that VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 May 03, 2016 Jkt 238001 compliance with rule 204–3 imposes a burden of approximately 39 hours annually based on an average adviser having 1,494 clients. Our latest data indicate that there were 11,956 advisers registered with the Commission as of January 4, 2016. Based on this figure, the Commission estimates a total annual burden of 466,145 for this collection of information. Rule 204–3 does not require recordkeeping or record retention. The collection of information requirements under the rule are mandatory. The information collected pursuant to the rule is not filed with the Commission, but rather takes the form of disclosures to clients and prospective clients. Accordingly, these disclosures are not kept confidential. 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 control number. The public may view the background documentation for this information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.

The information collected is intended to ensure that the information required to be filed by the Commission permits verification of compliance with securities law requirements and assures the public availability of such information. The information provided is mandatory and all information is made available to the public upon request. We estimate that Form F–8 takes approximately one hour per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 5 respondents.
