burden associated with Rule 15g–9
would be 26,969 hours (19,734 hours to
prepare the suitability statement and
agreement + 5,920 hours for customer
review + 1,315 hours for processing).
We cannot estimate how many brokerdealers and customers will choose to
communicate electronically. If we
assume that 50 percent of respondents
would continue to provide documents
and obtain signatures in tangible form,
and 50 percent would choose to
communicate electronically in
satisfaction of the requirements of Rule
15g–9, the total aggregate hour burden
would be 27,297 burden hours ((27,627
aggregate burden hours for documents
and signatures in tangible form × 0.50 of
the respondents = 13,813 hours) +
(26,969 aggregate burden hours for
electronically signed and transmitted
documents × 0.50 of the respondents =
13,484 hours)). We estimate that 50% of
the burden associated with Rule 15g–9
is a recordkeeping type of burden, and
the remaining 50% of the burden is a
third party disclosure type of burden.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; 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.
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.
