Available From: Securities and

Exchange Commission, Office of Filings

and Information Services, Washington,

DC 20549.

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 collection of information

summarized below. The Commission

plans to submit this collection of

information to the Office of

Management and Budget for extension

and approval.

Rule 15Bc3–1 under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 provides that a

notice of withdrawal from registration

with the Commission as a bank

municipal securities dealer must be

filed on Form MSDW.

The Commission uses the information

submitted on Form MSDW in

determining whether it is in the public

interest to permit a bank municipal

securities dealer to withdraw its

registration. This information is also

important to the municipal securities

dealer’s customers and to the public,

because it provides, among other things,

the name and address of a person to

contact regarding any of the municipal

securities dealer’s unfinished business.

The staff estimates that approximately

20 respondents in total will utilize this

notice procedure annually, with a total

burden of 10 hours for all respondents,

based upon past submissions. The staff

estimates that the average number of

hours necessary for one respondent to

comply with the requirements of Rule

15Bc3–1 is .5 hours. The average cost

per hour is approximately $101.

Therefore, the total cost of compliance

for all respondents is $1,010 ($101 × .5

× 20 = $1,010).

Written comments are invited on: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden of the 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.

Direct your written comments to

Director, Office of Information

Technology, Securities and Exchange

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 publishing the

following summary of collection for

public comment.

Rule 17a–1 under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 requires that all

national securities exchanges, national

securities associations, registered

clearing agencies, and the Municipal

Securities Rulemaking Board keep on

file for a period of five years, two years

in an accessible place, all documents

which it makes or receives respecting its

self-regulatory activities, and that such

documents be available for examination

by the Commission. The average

number of hours necessary for

compliance with the requirements of

Rule 17a–1 is 50 hours per year. There

are 24 entities required to comply with

the rule: 9 national securities exchanges,

1 national securities association, 13

registered clearing agencies, and the

Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

The total number of hours required for

all respondents to comply with the rule

is thus 1,200 hours annually.

Written comments are invited on: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden of the proposed collection

of information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

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.
