[OMB Control No. 3235–0785] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Rule 18a–10 

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 18a–10 (17 CFR 

240.18a–10), under the Securities 

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

seq.). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

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

Exchange Act Rule 18a–10 provides 

an alternative compliance mechanism 

pursuant to which stand-alone securitybased swap dealers (‘‘SBSDs’’) 

registered as a swap dealer that 

predominantly engages in a swaps 

business, and that meet certain 

conditions set forth in the rule, may 

elect to comply with the capital, margin, 

segregation, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) and 

the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission’s (‘‘CFTC’’) rules in lieu of 

complying with SEC Rules 18a–1, and 

18a–3 through 18a–9. Rule 18a–10 

requires the firm to provide a written 

disclosure to its counterparties after it 

begins operating pursuant to the rule. 

Furthermore, Rule 18a–10 requires the 

firm to immediately notify the 

Commission and the CFTC in writing if 

it fails to meet a condition in the rule. 

There are currently two stand-alone 

SBSDs operating pursuant to the 

alternative compliance mechanism. The 

Commission estimates that these two 

stand-alone SBSDs will each spend 5 

hours per year updating the disclosure 

language required under paragraph 

(b)(2) of Rule 18a–10, and that one of 

these stand-alone SBSDs will file the 

notice with the Commission required 

under paragraph (b)(3) of Rule 18a–10, 

which will impose an estimated burden 

of 5 minutes per year. Consequnenty, 

the Commission estimates that the total 

hour burden under Rule 18a–10 is 

approximately 11 hours per year. 

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 

December 16, 2024. 

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.
