Comment Request

Existing collection in use without an OMB
Number:
Rule 8c–1, SEC File No. 270–455, OMB
Control No. 3235–0514.
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 has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget requests for approval of the
following rule: Rule 8c–1.
Rule 8c–1 (17 CFR 240.8c–1) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) generally prohibits a
broker-dealer from using its customers’
securities as collateral to finance its own
trading, speculating, or underwriting
transactions. More specifically, the rule
states three main principles: First, that
a broker-dealer is prohibited from
commingling the securities of different
customers as collateral for a loan
without the consent of each customer;
second, that a broker-dealer cannot
commingle customers’ securities with
its own securities under the same
pledge; and third, that a broker-dealer
can only pledge its customers’ securities
to the extent that customers are in debt

to the broker-dealer. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 2690
(November 15, 1940); Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 9428
(December 29, 1971). Pursuant to Rule
8c–1, respondents must collect
information necessary to prevent the
hypothecation of customer accounts in
contravention of the rule, issue and
retain copies of notices to the pledgee of
hypothecation of customer accounts in
accordance with the rule, and collect
written consents from customers in
accordance with the rule. The
information is necessary to ensure
compliance with the rule, and to advise
customers of the rule’s protections.
There are approximately 111
respondents per year (i.e., brokerdealers that conducted business with
the public, filed Part II of the FOCUS
Report, did not claim an exemption
from the Reserve Formula computation,
and reported that they had a bank loan
during at least one quarter of the current
year) that require an aggregate total of
2,498 hours to comply with the rule.
Each of these approximately 111
registered broker-dealers makes an
estimated 45 annual responses, for an
aggregate total of 4,995 responses per
year. Each response takes approximately
0.5 hours to complete. Thus, the total
compliance burden per year is 2,498
burden hours. The approximate cost per
hour is $59, resulting in a total cost of
compliance for the respondents of
approximately $147,382 (2,498 hours @
$59 per hour).
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirement under Rule
8c–1 is three years. The recordkeeping
requirement under this rule is
mandatory to ensure that broker-dealers
do not commingle their securities or use
them to finance the broker-dealers’
proprietary business. This rule does not
involve the collection of confidential
information. Persons should be aware
that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a current valid control
number.
