OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request for an Expiring

Information Collection: OPM Form

1644

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this

notice announces that the Office of

Personnel Management (OPM)

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget a request for review of an

expiring information collection. OPM

Form 1644, Child Care Provider

Information: Child Care Tuition

Assistance Program for Federal

Employees, is used to verify that child

care providers are licensed and/or

regulated by local and/or State

authorities. Agencies need to know that

child care providers to whom they make

disbursements in the form of tuition

assistance subsidies, are licensed and/or

regulated by local and/or State

authorities, in accordance with the

specific requirements of their

jurisdictions.

Pub. L. 106–58, passed by Congress

on September 29, 1999, permits Federal

agencies to use appropriated funds to

help their lower income employees with

their costs for child care. It is up to the

agencies to decide on whether to

implement this law. This is a new law

and the extent to which it will be

implemented, including the number of

providers that will be involved, cannot

be easily predicted. We estimate

approximately 3000–5000 OPM 1644

forms will be completed annually. The

form will take approximately 10

minutes to complete by each provider.

The annual estimated burden is 833

hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of Filings and

Information Services, Washington, DC

20549

Extension:

Rule 15Ba2–1 and Form MSD, SEC File No.

270–88, OMB Control No. 3235–0083

Rule 17a–3(a)(16), SEC File No. 270–452,

OMB Control No. 3235–0508

Rule 17a–4(b)(10), SEC File No. 270–449,

OMB Control No. 3235–0506

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’’) has submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget

requests for extension of the previously

approved collections of information

discussed below.

Rule 15Ba2–1 under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) provides

that an application for registration with

the Commission by a bank municipal

securities dealer must be filed on Form

MSD. The Commission uses the

information contained in Form MSD to

determine whether bank municipal

securities dealers meet the standards for

registration set forth in the Act, to

develop a central registry where

members of the public may obtain

information about particular bank

municipal securities dealers, and to

develop statistical information about

bank municipal securities dealers.

The staff estimates that approximately

32 respondents will utilize this

application procedure annually, with a

total burden of 48 hours, based upon

past submissions. The staff estimates

that the average number of hours

necessary to comply with the

requirements of Rule 15Ba2–1 is 1.5

hours.

Rule 15Ba2–1 does not contain an

explicit recordkeeping requirement, but

the rule does require the prompt

correction of any information on Form

MSD that becomes inaccurate, meaning

that bank municipal securities dealers

need to maintain a current copy of Form

MSD indefinitely.

Providing the information on the

application is mandatory in order to

register with the Commission as a bank

municipal securities dealer. The

information contained in the

application will not be kept

confidential.

Rule 17a–3(a)(16) under the Act

identifies the records to be made by

broker-dealers that operate internal

broker-dealer systems. Those records are

to be used in monitoring compliance

with the Commission’s financial

responsibility program and antifraud

and antimanipulative rules, as well as

other rules and regulations of the

Commission and the self-regulatory

organizations. It is estimated that

approximately 105 active broker-dealer

respondents registered with the

Commission incur an average burden of

2,835 hours per year to comply with this

rule.

Rule 17a–3 does not contain retention

requirements. Compliance with the rule

is mandatory. The required records are

available only to the examination staff
