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
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below. The Code
of Federal Regulation citation to this
collection of information is the
following rule: 17 CFR 240.17a–3.
Rule 17a–3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 establishes
minimum standards with respect to
business records that broker-dealers

registered with the Commission must
make and keep current. These records
are maintained by the broker-dealer (in
accordance with a separate rule), so they
can be used by the broker-dealer and
reviewed by Commission examiners, as
well as other regulatory authority
examiners, during inspections of the
broker-dealer.
The collections of information
included in Rule 17a–3 is necessary to
provide Commission, self-regulatory
organization and State examiners to
conduct effective and efficient
examinations to determine whether
broker-dealers are complying with
relevant laws, rules, and regulations. If
broker-dealers were not required to
create these baseline, standardized
records, Commission, self-regulatory
organization and State examiners could
be unable to determine whether brokerdealers are in compliance with the
Commission’s antifraud and antimanipulation rules, financial
responsibility program, and other
Commission, SRO, and State laws, rules,
and regulations.
As of October 1, 2010, there were
5,057 broker-dealers registered with the
Commission. The Commission estimates
that these broker-dealer respondents
incur a total burden of 2,723,970 hours
per year to comply with Rule 17a–3.
Approximately 1,464,777 of those hours
are attributable to paragraph 17a–
3(a)(17), and about 1,259,193 hours are
attributable to the rest of Rule 17a–3.

In addition, Rule 17a–3 contains
ongoing operation and maintenance
costs for broker-dealers including the
cost of postage to provide customers
with account information, and costs for
equipment and systems development.
The Commission estimates that under
Rule 17a–3(a)(17), approximately
35,627,958 customers will need to be
provided with information regarding
their account on a yearly basis. The
Commission estimates that the postage
costs associated with providing those
customers with copies of their account
record information would be
approximately $10,688,387 per year
(35,627,958 × $0.30). The staff believes
that the ongoing equipment and systems
development costs relating to Rule 17a–
3 for the industry would be about
$23,514,452 per year. Consequently, the
total cost burden associated with Rule
17a–3 would be approximately
$34,202,839 per year.
Rule 17a–3 does not contain record
retention requirements. Compliance
with the rule is mandatory. The
required records are available only to
the staffs of the Commission, selfregulatory organizations of which the
broker-dealer is a member, and the
States during examination, inspections
and investigations.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number.
