SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–325, OMB Control No. 

3235–0385] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 15g–9 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

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 15g–9 (17 CFR 

240.15g–9) (the ‘‘Rule’’), under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S. C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Exchange 

Act’’). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Section 15(c)(2) of the Exchange Act 

(15 U.S.C. authorizes the Commission to 

promulgate rules that prescribe means 

reasonably designed to prevent 

fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative 

practices in connection with over-thecounter (‘‘OTC’’) securities transactions. 

Pursuant to this authority, the 

Commission in 1989 adopted Rule 

15c2–6, which was subsequently 

redesignated as Rule 15g–9, 17 CFR 

240.15g–9. The Rule requires brokerdealers to produce a written suitability 

determination for, and to obtain a 

written customer agreement to, certain 

recommended transactions in penny 

stocks that are not registered on a 

national securities exchange, and whose 

issuers do not meet certain minimum 

financial standards. The Rule is 

intended to prevent the indiscriminate 

use by broker-dealers of fraudulent, high 

pressure telephone sales campaigns to 

sell penny stocks to unsophisticated 

customers. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

approximately five percent of registered 

broker-dealers, or 175 broker-dealers,1

are subject to the Rule (5% × 

approximately 3,497 registered brokerdealers = 175 broker-dealers). As 

indicated above, the burden of the Rule 

on a respondent varies widely 

depending on the frequency with which 

new customers are solicited. On 

average, for all respondents, the staff has 

estimated that respondents process 

three new customers per week, or 

approximately 156 new customers 

requiring suitability determinations per 

year. We also estimate that a brokerdealer would take approximately onehalf hour per new customer in 

obtaining, reviewing, and processing 

(including transmitting to the customer) 

the information required by Rule 15g–9, 

and each respondent would 

consequently spend 78 hours annually 

(156 new customers × .5 hours) 

obtaining the information required in 

the Rule. This would result in 27,300 

annual responses per year for all 

respondents (175 respondents × 156 

new customer suitability determinations 

per year). We determined, based on the 

estimate of 175 broker-dealer 

respondents, that the annual hour 

burden of Rule 15g–9 is 13,650 hours 

(175 respondents × 78 hours). 

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 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 by 

November 13, 2023. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number.

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o John
