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 15Ba2–6T; OMB Control No. 3235– 

0659; SEC File No. 270–618. 

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 existing collection of information 

provided for in the following rule: Rule 

15Ba2–6T—Temporary Registration as a 

Municipal Advisor; Required 

Amendments; and Withdrawal from 

Temporary Registration (17 CFR 

240.15Ba2–6T) 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. 

Paragraph (a) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

requires municipal advisors, as defined 

in Section 15B(e)(4) of the Exchange Act 

(15 U.S.C. 78o–4(e)(4)), to electronically 

file with the Commission on the 

Commission’s Web site at the following 

link, Municipal Advisor Registration. 

The information set forth in Form MA– 

T (17 CFR 249.1300T) to temporarily 

register or withdraw from temporary 

registration. 

Paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

requires municipal advisors to promptly 

amend their temporary registration 

whenever information concerning Items 

1 (Identifying Information) or 3 

(Disciplinary Information) of Form MA– 

T becomes inaccurate in anyway. 

Paragraph (b)(2) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

requires municipal advisors to promptly 

amend their temporary registration 

whenever they wish to withdraw from 

registration. 

Paragraph (c) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

provides that every initial registration, 

amendment to registration, or 

withdrawal from registration filed 

pursuant to this rule constitutes a 

‘‘report’’ within the meaning of 

applicable provisions of the Exchange 

Act. 

Paragraph (d) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

provides that every Form MA–T, 

including every amendment to or 

withdrawal from registration, is 

considered filed with the Commission 

when the electronic form on the 

Commission’s website is completed and 

the Commission has sent confirmation 

to the municipal advisor that the form 

was filed. 

Paragraph (e) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

provides that all temporary registrations 

of municipal advisors will expire on the 

earlier of: (1) The date that the 

registration is approved or disapproved 

by the Commission pursuant to a final 

rule adopted by the Commission 

establishing another manner of 

registration and prescribing a form for 

the registration; (2) the date on which 

the municipal advisor’s temporary 

registration is rescinded by the 

Commission; or (3) December 31, 2011. 

Paragraph (f) of Rule 15Ba2–6T 

provides that Rule 15Ba2–6T will expire 

on December 31, 2011. 

The primary purpose of Rule 15Ba2– 

6T is to provide information about 

municipal advisors to investors and 

issuers, as well as the Commission 

pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act. 

Commission staff estimates that 

approximately 1,000 municipal advisors 

will file Form MA–T. Commission staff 

estimates that each of the approximately 

1,000 municipal advisors will spend an 

average of 2.5 hours preparing each 

Form MA–T. Therefore, the estimated 

total reporting burden associated with 

completing Form MA–T is 2,500 hours. 

Additionally, Commission staff 

estimates that approximately 1,000 

municipal advisors will amend their 

Form MA–T once during the period of 

September 1, 2010 through December 

31, 2011 and that it will take 

approximately 30 minutes to amend 

their form, which means the total 

burden associated with amending Form 

MA–T is 500 hours. Therefore, the total 

annual burden associated with 

completing and amending Form MA–T 

is 3,000 hours. 

The Commission believes that some 

municipal advisors will seek outside 

counsel to help them comply with the 

requirements of Rule 15Ba2–6T and 

Form MA–T, and assumes that each of 

the 1,000 municipal advisors will 

consult outside counsel for one hour for 

this purpose. The hourly rate for an 

attorney is $400, according to the 

Securities Industry and Financial 

Markets Association’s publication titled

Management & Professional Earnings in 

the Securities Industry 2009, as 

modified by Commission staff to 

account for an 1,800 hour work year and 

multiplied by 5.35 to account for 

bonuses, firm size, employee benefits 

and overhead. The Commission 

estimates the total cost for all 1,000 

municipal advisors to hire outside 

counsel to review their compliance with 

the requirements of Rule 15Ba2–6T and 

Form MA–T to be approximately 

$400,000. 

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 shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

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 be given to 

comments and suggestions submitted in 

writing within 60 days of this 

publication.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Sunshine Act Meeting 

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 

the provisions of the Government in the 

Sunshine Act, Public Law 94–409, that 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission will hold an Open Meeting 

on November 19, 2010 at 10 a.m., in the 

Auditorium, Room L–002. 

The subject matter of the Open 

Meeting will be: 

1. The Commission will consider 

whether to propose new rules and rule 

amendments under the Investment 

Advisers Act of 1940 to implement 

provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act. These rules and rule amendments 

are designed to give effect to provisions 

of Title IV of the Dodd-Frank Act that, 

among other things, increase the 

statutory threshold for registration by 

investment advisers with the 

Commission, require advisers to hedge 

funds and other private funds to register 

with the Commission, and address 

reporting by certain investment advisers 

that are exempt from registration. 

2. The Commission will consider 

whether to propose rules that would 

implement new exemptions from the 

registration requirements of the 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940 for 

advisers to venture capital funds and 

advisers with less than $150 million in 

private fund assets under management 

in the United States. These exemptions 

were enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act. The proposed rules also 

would clarify the meaning of certain 

terms included in a new exemption for 

foreign private advisers. 

3. The Commission will consider 

whether to propose new rules under 

Section 763(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act governing the security-based swap 

data repository registration process, the 

duties of such repositories, and the core 

principles applicable to such 

repositories. 

4. The Commission will consider 

whether to propose Regulation SBSR 

under Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act to provide for the reporting of 

security-based swap information to 

registered security-based swap data 

repositories or the Commission and the 

public dissemination of security-based 

swap transaction, volume, and pricing 

information. 

At times, changes in Commission 

priorities require alterations in the 

scheduling of meeting items. 

For further information and to 

ascertain what, if any, matters have been 

added, deleted or postponed, please 

contact: The Office of the Secretary at 

(202) 551–5400. 

Dated: November 12, 2010.

Secretary.
