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 existing collection of information
provided for in the following rule: Rule
15g-5—Disclosure of compensation to
associated persons in connection with
penny stock transactions (17 CRF

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.). The Commission plans to submit
this existing collection of information to

Rule 15g–5 requires brokers and
dealers to disclose to customers the
amount of compensation to be received
by their sales agents in connection with
penny stock transactions. The purpose
of the rule is to increase the level of
disclosure to investors concerning
penny stocks generally and specific
penny stock transactions.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 209 broker-dealers will
spend an average of 87 hours annually
to comply with the rule. Thus, the total
compliance burden is approximately
18,183 burden-hours per year.

The purpose of Form 12b-25 (17 CFR

public company will be unable to timely

transition report pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15

conditions of the form are satisfied, the
company is granted an automatic filing
extension. Approximately 7,799
registrants file Form 12b-25 and it takes
approximately 2.5 hours per response
for a total of 19,498 burden hours.
