(‘‘Exchange Act’’). On July 7, 1976, effective July 16, 1976 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 1976), the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2–5 under the Exchange Act to permit a duly-appointed fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a municipal securities VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:16 Sep 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 dealer’s business. Without the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD. The statement is necessary to ensure that the Commission and the public have adequate information about the fiduciary. There is approximately 1 respondent per year that requires an aggregate total of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes approximately 4 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 4 burden hours. The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is $20, resulting in a total internal cost of compliance for the respondent of approximately $80 (i.e., 4 hours × $20). 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.

Extension: Rule 17a–4 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’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17a–4 (17 CFR 240.17a–4), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Rule 17a–4 requires approximately 3,764 active, registered exchange members, brokers, and dealers (‘‘brokerdealers’’) to preserve for prescribed periods of time certain records required to be made by Rule 17a–3 and other Commission rules, and other kinds of records which firms make or receive in the ordinary course of business. Rule 17a–4 also permits broker-dealers to employ, under certain conditions, electronic storage media to maintain these required records. The records required to be maintained under Rule 17a–4 are used by examiners and other representatives of the Commission to determine whether broker-dealers are in compliance with, and to enforce their compliance with, the Commission’s rules. There are approximately 3,764 active, registered broker-dealers. The staff estimates that the average amount of time necessary to preserve the books and records as required by Rule 17a–4 is 254 hours per broker-dealer per year. In addition, paragraph (b)(11) of Rule 17a–4 requires any broker-dealer that sponsors an internal broker-dealer system to maintain certain records relating to such system for at least three years. The Commission estimates that paragraph (b)(11) of Rule 17a–4 imposes an annual burden of 3 hours per year to maintain the requisite records. The Commission estimates that there are approximately 200 internal brokerdealer systems, resulting in an annual recordkeeping burden of 600 hours. Therefore, the Commission estimates that compliance with Rule 17a–4 E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1

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

Extension:
    Rule 15Ba2-5

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 
240.15Ba2-5), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    On July 7, 1976, effective July 16, 1976 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 
1976), the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2-5 under the Exchange Act to 
permit a duly-appointed fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility 
for the operation of a municipal securities dealer's business. Without 
the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it 
registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the 
registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the 
registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, 
assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency 
or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, 
judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue 
the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such 
fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon 
the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such 
fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or 
Form BD. The statement is necessary to ensure that the Commission and 
the public have adequate information about the fiduciary.
    There is approximately 1 respondent per year that requires an 
aggregate total of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This respondent 
makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes approximately 
4 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 4 
burden hours. The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is $20, 
resulting in a total internal cost of compliance for the respondent of 
approximately $80 (i.e., 4 hours x $20).
    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.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should 
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an 
email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.
