Extension:
    Rule 15Bc3-1 and Form MSDW; SEC File No. 270-93, OMB Control No. 
3235-0087.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (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 Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 
15Bc3-1) and Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110) 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.
    Rule 15Bc3-1 provides that a notice of withdrawal from registration 
with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed 
on Form MSDW. The Commission uses the information submitted on Form 
MSDW in determining whether it is in the public interest to permit a 
bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. This 
information is also important to the municipal securities dealer's 
customers and to the public, because it provides, among other things, 
the name and address of a person to contact regarding any of the 
municipal securities dealer's unfinished business.
    Based upon past submissions, the staff estimates that, on an annual 
basis, approximately five bank municipal securities dealers will file a 
notice of withdrawal from registration with the Commission as a bank 
municipal securities dealer on Form MSDW. The staff estimates that the 
average number of hours necessary to comply with the notice 
requirements set out in Rule 15Bc3-1 and Form MSDW is 0.5 per 
respondent, for a total burden of 2.5 hours per year. The staff 
estimates that the average internal compliance cost per hour is 
approximately $343. Therefore, the estimated total cost of compliance 
for the respondents is approximately $858.
    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 will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate 
of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 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.
