[FR Doc. 06–9131 Filed 11–3–06; 4:14 pm] BILLING CODE 7710–12–M SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 20549. Extension: Rule 17i–4; SEC File No. 270–530; OMB Control No. 3235–0594. 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. Section 231 of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act of 1999 1 (the ‘‘GLBA’’) amended Section 17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’ or the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) to create a regulatory framework under which a holding company of a brokerdealer (‘‘investment bank holding company’’ or ‘‘IBHC’’) may voluntarily be supervised by the Commission as a supervised investment bank holding company (or ‘‘SIBHC’’).2 In 2004, the Commission promulgated rules, 1 Pub. 2 See PO 00000 L. 106–102, 113 Stat. 1338 (1999). 15 U.S.C. 78q(i). Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65547 including Rule 17i–4, (17 CFR 240.17i– 4.) to create a framework for the Commission to supervise SIBHCs.3 This framework includes qualification criteria for SIBHCs, as well as recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Among other things, this regulatory framework for SIBHCs is intended to provide a basis for non-U.S. financial regulators to treat the Commission as the principal U.S. consolidated home-country supervisor for SIBHCs and their affiliated brokerdealers.4 Rule 17i–4 requires an SIBHC to comply with present Exchange Act Rule 15c3–4 5 as though it were a brokerdealer, which requires that the firm establish, document and maintain a system of internal risk management controls to assist it in managing the risks associated with its business activities (including market, credit, operational, funding, and legal risks). In addition, Rule 17i–4 requires that an SIBHC establish, document, and maintain procedures for the detection and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing as part of its internal risk management control system. Finally, Rule 17i–4 requires that an SIBHC periodically review its internal risk management control system for integrity of the risk measurement, monitoring, and management process, and accountability, at the appropriate organizational level, for defining the permitted scope of activity and level of risk. The collection of information required pursuant to Rule 17i–4 is needed so that the Commission can adequately supervise the activities of these SIBHCs, and to allow the Commission to effectively determine whether supervision of an IBHC as an SIBHC is necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of Section 17 of the Act. Without this information, the Commission would be unable to adequately supervise the SIBHC as provided for under the Exchange Act. We estimate that three IBHCs will file Notices of Intention with the Commission to be supervised by the Commission as SIBHCs. An SIBHC will require, on average, about 3,600 hours to assess its present structure, businesses, and controls, and establish and document its risk management control system. In addition, an SIBHC will require, on average, approximately 250 3 See Exchange Act Release No. 49831 (Jun. 8, 2004), 69 FR 34472 (Jun. 21, 2004). 4 See H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 106–434, 165 (1999).
