SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

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

3235–0385] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

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 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), 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. 

Section 15(c)(2) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) authorizes 

the Commission to promulgate rules 

that prescribe means reasonably 

designed to prevent fraudulent, 

deceptive, or manipulative practices in 

connection with over-the-counter 

(‘‘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’’). The Rule 

requires broker-dealers 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
