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 (15 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 of one filing in 2016, two filings in 2017, zero filings in 2018, and one filing so far in 2019, the staff estimates that, on an annual basis, approximately one bank municipal securities dealer 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 0.5 hours per year. The staff estimates that the average internal compliance cost per hour is approximately $417.1 Therefore, the estimated total annual cost of compliance is approximately $209 per year (0.5 hours/year × $417/ hour = $208.5/year, rounded up to $209). Rule 15Bc3–1 does not contain an explicit recordkeeping requirement, but the instructions for filing Form MSDW state that an exact copy should be retained by the registrant. Providing the information on the application is 1 The estimate of $417 per hour is for a compliance attorney, based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.

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 15Ba2–1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2–1) and Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100), under the Securities and VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:11 Jul 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 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 15Ba2–1 provides that an application for registration with the Commission by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD. The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD filings to determine whether bank municipal securities dealers meet the standards for registration set forth in the Act, to maintain a central registry where members of the public may obtain information about particular bank municipal securities dealers, and to develop risk assessment information about bank municipal securities dealers. Form MSD is a one-time registration form that must be amended only if it becomes inaccurate. Based upon past submissions of two initial filings and 11 amendments in 2016, zero initial filings and 22 amendments in 2017, zero initial filings and 18 amendments in 2018, and zero initial filings and zero amendments so far in 2019, the Commission estimates that on an annual basis approximately 1 respondent will utilize Form MSD for an initial registration application, and that approximately 13 respondents will utilize Form MSD for an amendment, for a total of 14 respondents per year. The time required to complete Form MSD varies with the size and complexity of the bank municipal securities dealer’s proposed operations. Bank personnel that prepare Form MSD filings previously indicated that it can take up to 15 hours for a bank with a large operation and many employees to complete the form, but that smaller banks with fewer personnel can complete the form in one to two hours. We believe that most recent applications have come from smaller banks. Also, amendments to form MSD are likely to require significantly less time. We estimate that the total annual burden is currently 21 hours at an average of 1.5 hours per respondent. (14 respondents/year × 1.5 hours/ respondent = 21 hours/year). The staff estimates that the average internal compliance cost per hour is approximately $417.1 Therefore, the estimated total annual cost of compliance is approximately $8,757 per 1 The estimate of $417 per hour is for a compliance attorney, based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.

Rule 15Ba2–1 does not contain an explicit recordkeeping requirement, but the rule does require the prompt correction of any information on Form MSD that becomes inaccurate, meaning that bank municipal securities dealers need to maintain a current copy of Form MSD indefinitely. In addition, the instructions for filing Form MSD state that an exact copy should be retained by the registrant.

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 15Bc3-1 and Form MDSW--Withdrawal from Registration of 
Municipal Securities Dealers.

    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 (15 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 of one filing in 2016, two filings in 
2017, zero filings in 2018, and one filing so far in 2019, the staff 
estimates that, on an annual basis, approximately one bank municipal 
securities dealer 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 0.5 hours per year. 
The staff estimates that the average internal compliance cost per hour 
is approximately $417.\1\ Therefore, the estimated total annual cost of 
compliance is approximately $209 per year (0.5 hours/year x $417/hour = 
$208.5/year, rounded up to $209).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The estimate of $417 per hour is for a compliance attorney, 
based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's 
Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013, 
modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year 
and inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm 
size, employee benefits and overhead.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 15Bc3-1 does not contain an explicit recordkeeping 
requirement, but the instructions for filing Form MSDW state that an 
exact copy should be retained by the registrant. Providing the 
information on the application is

mandatory in order to withdraw from registration with the Commission as 
a bank municipal securities dealer. The information contained in the 
notice will not be kept confidential.
    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
