Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 104 / Wednesday, June 1, 2005 / Notices
under which SSA agrees to the
disclosure of benefit information to
OPM. The SSA records will be used in
a matching program with OPM’s records
on surviving spouses who may be
eligible to receive a Supplementary
Annuity, disability retirees, and child
survivor annuitants, under the Federal
Employees’ Retirement System (FERS).
The benefits payable to these recipients
are offset if paid while also in receipt of
SSA benefits.
The SSA components responsible for
the disclosure are the Office of Income
Security Programs. The responsible
component for OPM is the Center for
Retirement and Insurance Services.
OPM, as the agency actually using the
results of this matching activity in its
programs, will publish the notice
required by Title 5 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 552a(e)(12) in the Federal
Register.

Proposed Extension of Collection of

Extension:
Rule 15Ba2–5; SEC File No. 270–91; OMB
Control No. 3235–0088.
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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
• Rule 15Ba2–5—Registration of
Fiduciaries
On July 7, 1975, effective July 16,
1975 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 1975),
the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2–5
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) to permit a dulyappointed fiduciary to assume
immediate responsibility for the
operation of a municipal securities

dealer’s business. Without the rule, the
fiduciary would not be able to assume
operation until it registered as a
municipal securities dealer. Under the
rule, the registration of a municipal
securities dealer is deemed to be the
registration of any executor,
administrator, guardian, conservator,
assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver, trustee in insolvency or
bankruptcy, or other fiduciary,
appointed or qualified by order,
judgment, or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction to continue the
business of such municipal securities
dealer, provided that such fiduciary
files with the Commission, within 30
days after entering upon the
performance of his duties, a statement
setting forth as to such fiduciary
substantially the same information
required by Form MSD or Form BD. The
statement is necessary to ensure that the
Commission and the public have
adequate information about the
fiduciary.
There is approximately 1 respondent
per year that requires an aggregate total
of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This
respondent makes an estimated 1
annual response. Each response takes
approximately 4 hours to complete.
Thus, the total compliance burden per
year is 4 burden hours. The approximate
cost per hour is $20, resulting in a total
cost of compliance for the respondent of
approximately $80 (i.e., 4 hours × $20).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (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 collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
Please direct any comments or
suggestions in writing to: R. Corey
Booth, Chief Information Officer, Office
of Information Technology, Securities
and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549.
Dated: May 13, 2005.

Proposed Extension of Collection of Information; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

Extension:
Rule 15Ba2-5; SEC File No. 270-91; OMB Control No. 3235-0088.
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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and

Rule 15Ba2-5--Registration of Fiduciaries
On July 7, 1975, effective July 16, 1975 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14,
1975), the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') to permit a duly-appointed
fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a
municipal securities dealer's business. Without the rule, the fiduciary
would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a
municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a
municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any
executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or
other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree
of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such
municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with
the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of
his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary
substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD. The
statement is necessary to ensure that the Commission and the public
have adequate information about the fiduciary.
There is approximately 1 respondent per year that requires an
aggregate total of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This respondent
makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes approximately
4 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 4
burden hours. The approximate cost per hour is $20, resulting in a
total cost of compliance for the respondent of approximately $80 (i.e.,
4 hours x $20).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (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
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
