SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


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 15c2-5, SEC File No. 270-195 ; OMB Control No. 3235-0198.

    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 15c2-5 (17 CFR 240.15c2-
5) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) 
(``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to submit this existing 
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget 
(``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 15c2-5 prohibits a broker-dealer from arranging or extending 
certain loans to persons in connection with the offer or sale of 
securities unless, before any element of the transaction is entered 
into, the broker-dealer: (1) Delivers to the person a written statement 
containing the exact nature and extent of the person's obligations 
under the loan arrangement; the risks and disadvantages of the loan 
arrangement; and all commissions, discounts, and other remuneration 
received and to be received in connection with the transaction by the 
broker-dealer or certain related persons (unless the person receives 
certain materials from the lender or broker-dealer which contain the 
required information); and (2) obtains from the person information on 
the person's financial situation and needs, reasonably determines that 
the transaction is suitable for the person, and retains on file and 
makes available to the person on request a written statement setting 
forth the broker-dealer's basis for determining that the transaction 
was suitable. The collection of information required by Rule 15c2-5 is 
necessary to execute the 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.\1\ Each of these approximately 50 registered broker-
dealers makes an estimated six annual responses, for an aggregate total 
of 300 responses per year.\2\ Each response takes approximately two 
hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 600 
burden hours.\3\ The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is 
$57.00 for clerical labor,\4\ resulting in a total internal compliance 
cost of $34,200.\5\ These reflect internal labor costs; there are no 
external labor, capital, or start-up costs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 50 respondents x 6 responses per year x 2 hours per response 
= 600 hours per year.
    \2\ 50 respondents x 6 responses per year = 300 responses per 
year.
    \3\ 300 responses per year x 2 hours per response = 600 hours 
per year.
    \4\ Cost per hour for a clerk is from SIFMA's Office Salaries in 
the Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to 
account for an 1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 2.93 to account 
for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.
    \5\ 600 hours per year x $57.00 per hour = $34,200 per year.

the burden of 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.
