OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for Review of a 

Revised Information Collection: (OMB 

Control No. 3206–0187; RI 38–31) 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice 

announces that the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review of a revised 

information collection. This information 

collection, ‘‘Request for Information 

About Your Missing Payment’’ (OMB 

Control No. 3206–0187; RI 38–31), is 

sent in response to a notification by an 

individual of the loss or non-receipt of 

a payment from the Civil Service 

Retirement and Disability Fund. This 

form requests the information needed to 

enable OPM to trace and/or reissue 

payment. Missing payments may also be 

reported to OPM by a telephone call. 

Approximately 8,000 reports of 

missing payments are processed each 

year. Of these, we estimate that 7,800 

are reports of missing checks. 

Approximately 200 reports of missing 

checks are reported using RI 38–31 and 

7,600 are reported by telephone. A 

response time of ten minutes per form 

reporting a missing check is estimated; 

the same amount of time is needed to 

report the missing checks or electronic 

funds transfer (EFT) payments using the 

telephone. The annual burden for 

reporting missing checks is 1,300 hours. 

The remaining 200 reports relate to EFT 

payments. No missing EFT payments 

are reported using RI 38–31. The annual 

burden for reporting missing EFT 

payments is 33 hours. The total burden 

is 1,333 hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 17a–13; SEC File No. 270–27; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0035. 

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 

provided for in the following rule: Rule 

17a–13 (17 CFR 240.17a–13) under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78 et seq.). The Commission 

plans to submit a request for approval 

of extension of the existing collection of 

information to the Office of 

Management and Budget. 

Rule 17a–13(b) (17 CFR 17a–13(b)) 

generally requires that at least once each 

calendar quarter, all registered brokers 

and dealers physically examine and 

count all securities held and account for 

all other securities not in their 

possession, but subject to the brokerdealer’s control or direction. Any 

discrepancies between the brokerdealer’s securities count and the firm’s 

records must be noted and, within seven 

days, the unaccounted for difference 

must be recorded in the firm’s records. 

Rule 17a–13(c) (17 CFR 17a–13(c)) 

provides that under specified 

conditions, the securities counts, 

examination, and verification of the 

broker-dealer’s entire list of securities 

may be conducted on a cyclical basis 

rather than on a certain date. Although 

Rule 17a–13 does not require filing a 

report with the Commission, 

discrepancies between a broker-dealer’s 

records and the securities counts may be 

required to be reported, for example, as 

a loss on Form X–17a–5 (17 CFR 

248.617), which must be filed with the 

Commission under Rule 17a–5 (17 CFR 

17a–5). Rule 17a–13 exempts brokerdealers that limit their business to the 

sale and redemption of securities of 

registered investment companies and 

interests or participation in an 

insurance company separate account 

and those who solicit accounts for 

federally insured savings and loan 

associations, provided that such persons 

promptly transmit all funds and 

securities and hold no customer funds 

and securities. The Rule also does not 

apply to certain broker-dealers required 

to register only because they effect 

transactions in securities futures 

products. 

The information obtained from Rule 

17a–13 is used as an inventory control 

device to monitor a broker-dealer’s 

ability to account for all securities held, 

in transfer, in transit, pledged, loaned, 

borrowed, deposited, or otherwise 

subject to the firm’s control or direction. 

Discrepancies between the securities 

counts and the broker-dealer’s records 

alert the Commission and the Self 

Regulatory Organizations (‘‘SROs’’) to 

those firms having problems in their 

back offices. 

Currently, there are approximately 

5,030 broker-dealers registered with the 

Commission. However, given the 

variability in their businesses, it is 

difficult to quantify how many hours 

per year each broker-dealer spends 

complying with the Rule. As noted, the 

Rule requires a respondent to account 

for all securities in its possession. Many 

respondents hold few, if any, securities; 

while others hold large quantities. 

Therefore, the time burden of complying 

with the Rule will depend on 

respondent-specific factors, including 

size, number of customers, and
