Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Existing Collection in Use Without an 

OMB Number: Rule 8c–1; SEC File 

No. 270–455; OMB Control No. 3235– 

0514. 

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 existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for Approval. 

Rule 8c–1 (17 CFR 240.8c–1) under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

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

broker-dealer from using its customers’ 

securities as collateral to finance its own 

trading, speculating, or underwriting 

transactions. More specifically, the rule 

states three main principles: first, that a 

broker-dealer is prohibited from 

commingling the securities of different 

customers as collateral for a loan 

without the consent of each customer; 

second, that a broker-dealer cannot 

commingle customers’ securities with 

its own securities under the same 

pledge; and third, that a broker-dealer 

can only pledge its customers’ securities 

to the extent that customers are in debt 

to the broker-dealer. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 2690 

(November 15, 1940); Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 9428 

(December 29, 1971). Pursuant to Rule 

8c–1, respondents must collect 

information necessary to prevent the 

hypothecation of customer accounts in 

contravention of the rule, issue and 

retain copies of notices to the pledgee of 

hypothecation of customer accounts in 

accordance with the rule, and collect 

written consents from customers in 

accordance with the rule. The 

information is necessary to ensure 

compliance with the rule, and to advise 

customers of the rule’s protections. 

There are approximately 111 

respondents per year (i.e., brokerdealers that conducted business with 

the public, filed Part II of the FOCUS 

Report, did not claim an exemption 

from the Reserve Formula computation, 

and reported that they had a bank loan 

during at least one quarter of the current 

year) that require an aggregate total of 

2,498 hours to comply with the rule. 

Each of these approximately 111
