BILLING CODE 7905–01–P 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–420, OMB Control No. 

3235–0479] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Extension: Rule 

15c2–7 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of 

extension of the previously approved 

collection of information provided for in 

Rule 15c2–7 (17 CFR 240.15c2–7) under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.). 

Rule 15c2–7 places disclosure 

requirements on broker-dealers who 

have correspondent relationships, or 

agreements identified in the Rule, with 

other broker-dealers. Whenever any 

such broker-dealer enters a quotation for 

a security through an inter-dealer 

quotation system, Rule 15c2–7 requires 

the broker-dealer to disclose these 

relationships and agreements in the 

manner required by the Rule. The interdealer quotation system must also be 

able to make these disclosures public in 

association with the quotation the 

broker-dealer is making. 

When Rule 15c2–7 was adopted in 

1964, the information it requires was 

necessary for execution of the 

Commission’s mandate under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to 

prevent fraudulent, manipulative, and 

deceptive acts by broker-dealers. In the 

absence of the information collection 

required under Rule 15c2–7, investors 

and broker-dealers would have been 

unable to accurately determine the 

market depth of, and demand for, 

securities in an inter-dealer quotation 

system. 

There are approximately 3,493 brokerdealers registered with the Commission. 

Any of these broker-dealers could be 

potential respondents for Rule 15c2–7, 

so the Commission is using that number 

as the number of respondents. Rule 

15c2–7 applies only to quotations 

entered into an inter-dealer quotation 

system, such as OTC Link, operated by 

OTC Markets Group Inc. (‘‘OTC Link’’). 

According to a representative of OTC 

Link, it has not received any Rule 15c2– 

7 notices since the previous PRA 

extension for Rule 15c2–7 in 2020; nor 

does OTC Link anticipate receiving any 

Rule 15c2–7 notices. However, because 

such notices could be made, the 

Commission estimates that one filing is 

made annually pursuant to Rule 15c2– 

7. 

Based on prior industry reports, the 

Commission estimates that the average 

time required to enter a disclosure 

pursuant to the Rule is .75 minutes, or 

45 seconds. The Commission sees no 

reason to change this estimate. We 

estimate that impacted respondents 

spend a total of .0125 hours per year to 

comply with the requirements of Rule 

15c2–7 (1 notice (×) 45 seconds/notice). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.

collection at the following website:

information collection by selecting

Employee Work Activity 

Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.1574(a)(1)– 

(3)—0960–0483. Social Security 

Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries 

and Supplemental Security Income 

(SSI) recipients qualify for payments 

when a verified physical or mental 

impairment prevents them from 

working. If disability claimants attempt 

to return to work after receiving 

payments, but are unable to continue 

working, they submit Form SSA–3033, 

Employee Work Activity Questionnaire, 

so SSA can evaluate their work attempt. 

SSA also uses this form to evaluate 

unsuccessful subsidy work and 

determine applicants’ continuing 

eligibility for disability payments. The 

respondents are employers of SSDI 

beneficiaries and SSI recipients who 

unsuccessfully attempted to return to 

work. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.
