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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Form F–8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be
used to register securities of certain
Canadian issuers under the Securities
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) that
will be used in an exchange offer or
business combination. The information
collected is intended to ensure that the
information required to be filed by the
Commission permits verification of

compliance with securities law
requirements and assures the public
availability of such information. We
estimate that Form F–8 takes
approximately one hour per response to
prepare and is filed by approximately 5
respondents. We estimate that 25% of
one hour per response (15 minutes) is
prepared by the company for a total
annual reporting burden of one hour (15
minutes/60 minutes per response × 5
responses = 1.25 hours rounded to the
nearest whole number one hour).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
provided for in Rule 15b1–1 (17 CFR
240.15b1–1) and Form BD (17 CFR
249.501) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Form BD is the application form used
by firms to apply to the Commission for
registration as a broker-dealer, as
required by Rule 15b1–1. Form BD also
is used by firms other than banks and
registered broker-dealers to apply to the
Commission for registration as a
municipal securities dealer or a
government securities broker-dealer. In
addition, Form BD is used to change
information contained in a previous
Form BD filing that becomes inaccurate.
The total industry-wide annual time
burden imposed by Form BD is
approximately 4,999 hours, based on
approximately 13,732 responses (193
initial filings + 13,539 amendments).
Each application filed on Form BD
requires approximately 2.75 hours to
complete and each amended Form BD
requires approximately 20 minutes to
complete. (193 × 2.75 hours = 531
hours; 13,539 × 0.33 hours = 4,468
hours; 531 hours + 4,468 hours = 4,999
hours.) The staff believes that a brokerdealer would have a Compliance
Manager complete and file both
applications and amendments on Form
BD at a cost of $279/hour.
Consequently, the staff estimates that
the total internal cost of compliance
associated with the annual time burden
is approximately $1,394,721 per year
($279 × 4999). There is no external cost
burden associated with Rule 15b1–1 and
Form BD.
The Commission uses the information
disclosed by applicants in Form BD: (1)
To determine whether the applicant
meets the standards for registration set
forth in the provisions of the Exchange
Act; (2) to develop a central information
resource where members of the public
may obtain relevant, up-to-date
information about broker-dealers,
municipal securities dealers, and
government securities broker-dealers,
and where the Commission, other
regulators, and SROs may obtain
information for investigatory purposes
in connection with securities litigation;
and (3) to develop statistical
information about broker-dealers,
municipal securities dealers, and
government securities broker-dealers.
Without the information disclosed in
Form BD, the Commission could not
effectively implement policy objectives

of the Exchange Act with respect to its
investor protection function.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.
Extension: Rule 15b1-1/Form BD;
SEC File No. 270-19, OMB Control No. 3235-0012.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
[[Page 6552]]
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting
comments on the collection of information provided for in Rule 15b1-1
(17 CFR 240.15b1-1) and Form BD (17 CFR 249.501) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Form BD is the application form used by firms to apply to the
Commission for registration as a broker-dealer, as required by Rule
15b1-1. Form BD also is used by firms other than banks and registered
broker-dealers to apply to the Commission for registration as a
municipal securities dealer or a government securities broker-dealer.
In addition, Form BD is used to change information contained in a
previous Form BD filing that becomes inaccurate.
The total industry-wide annual time burden imposed by Form BD is
approximately 4,999 hours, based on approximately 13,732 responses (193
initial filings + 13,539 amendments). Each application filed on Form BD
requires approximately 2.75 hours to complete and each amended Form BD
requires approximately 20 minutes to complete. (193 x 2.75 hours = 531
hours; 13,539 x 0.33 hours = 4,468 hours; 531 hours + 4,468 hours =
4,999 hours.) The staff believes that a broker-dealer would have a
Compliance Manager complete and file both applications and amendments
on Form BD at a cost of $279/hour. Consequently, the staff estimates
that the total internal cost of compliance associated with the annual
time burden is approximately $1,394,721 per year ($279 x 4999). There
is no external cost burden associated with Rule 15b1-1 and Form BD.
The Commission uses the information disclosed by applicants in Form
BD: (1) To determine whether the applicant meets the standards for
registration set forth in the provisions of the Exchange Act; (2) to
develop a central information resource where members of the public may
obtain relevant, up-to-date information about broker-dealers, municipal
securities dealers, and government securities broker-dealers, and where
the Commission, other regulators, and SROs may obtain information for
investigatory purposes in connection with securities litigation; and
(3) to develop statistical information about broker-dealers, municipal
securities dealers, and government securities broker-dealers. Without
the information disclosed in Form BD, the Commission could not
effectively implement policy objectives of the Exchange Act with
respect to its investor protection function.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; 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.
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.
