OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for Review of a 

Revised Information Collection: (OMB 

Control No. 3206–0099; Form RI 25–41) 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice 

announces that the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review of a revised 

information collection. This information 

collection, ‘‘Initial Certification of FullTime School Attendance’’ (OMB Control 

No. 3206–0099; Form RI 25–41), is used 

to determine whether a child is 

unmarried and a full-time student in a 

recognized school. OPM must determine 

this in order to pay survivor annuity 

benefits to children who are age 18 or 

older. 

We estimate 1,200 certifications will 

be processed annually. It takes 

approximately 90 minutes to complete 

the form. The estimated annual burden 

is 1,800 hours. 

For copies of this proposal, contact 

Cyrus S. Benson on (202) 606–4808, 

FAX (202) 606–0910 or via E-mail to 

Cyrus.Benson@opm.gov. Please include 

a mailing address with your request. 

DATES: Comments on this proposal 

should be received within 30 calendar 

days from the date of this publication.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

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 extension 

and approval. 

Rule 15c3–4 (17 CFR 240.15c3–4) (the 

‘‘Rule’’) under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the 

‘‘Exchange Act’’) requires certain 

broker-dealers that are registered with 

the Commission as OTC derivatives 

dealers to establish, document, and 

maintain a system of internal risk 

management controls. The Rule sets 

forth the basic elements for an OTC 

derivatives dealer to consider and 

include when establishing, 

documenting, and reviewing its internal 

risk management control system, which 

are designed to, among other things, 

ensure the integrity of an OTC 

derivatives dealer’s risk measurement, 

monitoring, and management process, to 

clarify accountability at the appropriate 

organizational level, and to define the 

permitted scope of the dealer’s activities 

and level of risk. The Rule also requires 

that management of an OTC derivatives 

dealer must periodically review, in 

accordance with written procedures, the 

OTC derivatives dealer’s business 

activities for consistency with its risk 

management guidelines.

1 ((One new OTC derivatives dealer × 2,000 hours 

to establish and document its internal risk 

management control system) + (One new OTC 

derivatives dealer × 200 hours to maintain an 

internal risk management control system × (3 years/ 

2)) + (Four registered OTC derivatives dealers × 200 

hours to maintain an internal risk management 

control system × 3 years))/3 years = 1,567 hours.

Compliance Manager is from SIFMA’s Management 

& Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 

2008, modified by Commission staff to account for 

an 1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to 

account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits 

and overhead.

6 (1 SIBHC/every 10 years) × (24 hours to draft + 

8 hours to review) = 3.2 hours. 

The staff estimates that the average 

amount of time a new OTC derivatives 

dealer will spend establishing and 

documenting its risk management 

control system is 2,000 hours and that, 

on average, a registered OTC derivatives 

dealer will spend approximately 200 

hours each year to maintain (e.g., 

reviewing and updating) its risk 

management control system. Currently, 

four firms are registered with the 

Commission as OTC derivatives dealers. 

The staff estimates that approximately 

one additional OTC derivatives dealer 

may become registered within the next 

three years. Accordingly, the staff 

estimates that the total annualized 

burden associated with Rule 15c3–4 for 

five OTC derivatives dealers will be 

approximately 1,567 hours annually.1

The staff believes that the cost of 

complying with Rule 15c3–4 will be 

approximately $258 per hour.2 This per 

hour cost is based upon the annual 

average hourly salary for a compliance 

manager, who would generally be 

responsible for initially establishing, 

documenting, and maintaining an OTC 

derivatives dealer’s internal risk 

management control system. 

Accordingly, the total annualized cost 

for all affected OTC derivatives dealers 

is estimated to be $404,200.3

Extension: 

Rule 17i–3, SEC File No. 270–529, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0593. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 1 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. 

The Code of Federal Regulations citation to 

this collection of information is the 

following: 17 CFR 240.17i–3. 

Section 231 of the Gramm-LeachBliley Act of 1999 2 (the ‘‘GLBA’’) 

amended Section 17 of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 to create a 

regulatory framework under which a 

holding company of a broker-dealer 

(‘‘investment bank holding company’’ or 

‘‘IBHC’’) may voluntarily be supervised 

by the Commission as a supervised 

investment bank holding company (or 

‘‘SIBHC’’).3 In 2004, the Commission 

promulgated rules, including Rule 17i– 

3, to create a framework for the 

Commission to supervise SIBHCs.4 This 

framework includes qualification 

criteria for SIBHCs, as well as 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements. Among other things, this 

regulatory framework for SIBHCs is 

intended to provide a basis for non-U.S. 

financial regulators to treat the 

Commission as the principal U.S. 

consolidated, home-country supervisor 

for SIBHCs and their affiliated brokerdealers.5

Rule 17i–3 permits an SIBHC to 

withdraw from Commission supervision 

by filing a notice of withdrawal with the 

Commission. The Rule requires that an 

SIBHC include in its notice of 

withdrawal a statement that it is in 

compliance with Rule 17i–2(c) 

regarding amendments to its Notice of 

Intention to help to assure that the 

Commission has updated information 

when considering the SIBHC’s 

withdrawal request. 

The collection of information required 

by Rule 17i–3 is necessary to enable the 

Commission to evaluate whether it is 

necessary and appropriate in the 

furtherance of Section 17 of the 

Exchange Act for the Commission to 

allow an SIBHC to withdraw from 

supervision. Without this information, 

the Commission would be unable to 

make this evaluation. 

We estimate, for Paperwork Reduction 

Act purposes only, that one SIBHC may 

wish to withdraw from Commission 

supervision as an SIBHC over a ten-year 

period. Each SIBHC that withdraws 

from Commission supervision as an 

SIBHC will require approximately 24 

hours to draft a withdrawal notice and 

submit it to the Commission. An SIBHC 

likely would have an attorney perform 

this task. Further, an SIBHC likely will 

have a senior attorney or executive 

officer review the notice of withdrawal 

before submitting it to the Commission, 

which will take approximately eight 

hours. Thus, we estimate that the 

annual, aggregate burden of 

withdrawing from Commission 

supervision as an SIBHC will be 

approximately 3.2 hours each year.6

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the 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 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.

comments and suggestions submitted in

publication.
