Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 94 / Thursday, May 15, 2014 / Notices TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Commission’s mandate under the Exchange Act to prevent fraudulent, manipulative, and deceptive acts and practices by broker-dealers. The Commission estimates that there are approximately 50 respondents that require an aggregate total of 600 hours to comply with Rule 15c2–5. Each of these approximately 50 registered broker-dealers makes an estimated six annual responses, for an aggregate total of 300 responses per year. Each response takes approximately two hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 600 burden hours. The approximate cost per hour is $53.00 for clerical labor, resulting in a total internal compliance cost of $31,800 (600 hours @ $53.00 per hour). These reflect internal labor costs; there are no external labor, capital, or start-up costs. Although Rule 15c2–5 does not specify a retention period or recordkeeping requirement under the rule, broker-dealers are required to preserve the records for a period no less than six years pursuant to Rule 17a–4(c). The information required under Rule 15c2– 5 is necessary for broker-dealers to engage in the lending activities prescribed in the Rule. Rule 15c2–5 does not assure confidentiality for the information retained under the rule.1 An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Rule 22d–1 (17 CFR 270.22d–1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ‘‘1940 Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) provides registered investment companies that issue redeemable securities (‘‘funds’’) an exemption from section 22(d) of the 1940 Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–22(d)) to the extent necessary to permit scheduled variations in or elimination of the sales load on fund securities for particular classes of investors or transactions, provided certain conditions are met.
