serving Volunteers. The results of these 

examinations are used to ensure that

to serve in the Peace Corps without 

jeopardizing their health.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comments Requested 

Upon Written Request, Copies 

Available From: Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of 

Investor Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549. 

Extension: 

Rule 17a–3, SEC File No. 270–026, 

OMB Control No. 3235–0033. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. The Code 

of Federal Regulation citation to this 

collection of information is the 

following rule: 17 CFR 240.17a–3. 

Rule 17a–3 under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 establishes 

minimum standards with respect to 

business records that broker-dealers 

registered with the Commission must 

make and keep current. These records 

are maintained by the broker-dealer (in 

accordance with a separate rule), so they 

can be used by the broker-dealer and 

reviewed by Commission examiners, as 

well as other regulatory authority 

examiners, during inspections of the 

broker-dealer. 

The collections of information 

included in Rule 17a–3 is necessary to 

provide Commission, self-regulatory 

organization and State examiners to 

conduct effective and efficient 

examinations to determine whether 

broker-dealers are complying with 

relevant laws, rules, and regulations. If 

broker-dealers were not required to 

create these baseline, standardized 

records, Commission, self-regulatory 

organization and State examiners could 

be unable to determine whether brokerdealers are in compliance with the 

Commission’s antifraud and antimanipulation rules, financial 

responsibility program, and other 

Commission, SRO, and State laws, rules, 

and regulations. 

As of October 1, 2010, there were 

5,057 broker-dealers registered with the 

Commission. The Commission estimates 

that these broker-dealer respondents 

incur a total burden of 2,723,970 hours 

per year to comply with Rule 17a–3. 

Approximately 1,464,777 of those hours 

are attributable to paragraph 17a– 

3(a)(17), and about 1,259,193 hours are 

attributable to the rest of Rule 17a–3.

In addition, Rule 17a–3 contains 

ongoing operation and maintenance 

costs for broker-dealers including the 

cost of postage to provide customers 

with account information, and costs for 

equipment and systems development. 

The Commission estimates that under 

Rule 17a–3(a)(17), approximately 

35,627,958 customers will need to be 

provided with information regarding 

their account on a yearly basis. The 

Commission estimates that the postage 

costs associated with providing those 

customers with copies of their account 

record information would be 

approximately $10,688,387 per year 

(35,627,958 × $0.30). The staff believes 

that the ongoing equipment and systems 

development costs relating to Rule 17a– 

3 for the industry would be about 

$23,514,452 per year. Consequently, the 

total cost burden associated with Rule 

17a–3 would be approximately 

$34,202,839 per year. 

Rule 17a–3 does not contain record 

retention requirements. Compliance 

with the rule is mandatory. The 

required records are available only to 

the staffs of the Commission, selfregulatory organizations of which the 

broker-dealer is a member, and the 

States during examination, inspections 

and investigations. 

The Commission may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

control number. No person shall be 

subject to any penalty for failing to 

comply with a collection of information 

subject to the PRA that does not display 

a valid Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) control number.
