48732 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 201 / Thursday, October 19, 2017 / Notices 

Annuity (OMB No. 3220–0002), 

indicates entitlement to or receipt of a 

pension based on employment not 

covered under the Railroad Retirement 

Act or the Social Security Act; or (2) 

from a railroad employee when an 

independently-entitled divorced spouse 

applicant believes the employee to be 

entitled to a non-covered service 

pension. However, this development is 

unnecessary if RRB records indicate the 

employee has 30 or more years of 

coverage; or (3) from an employee 

annuitant who becomes entitled to a 

pension based on employment not 

covered under the Railroad Retirement 

Act or the Social Security Act. One 

response is requested of each 

respondent. Completion is required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (82 FR 37134 on August 

8, 2017) required by 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2). That request elicited no 

comments. 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

Title: Employee Non-Covered Service 

Pension Questionnaire.

Form(s) submitted: G–209. 

Type of request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection.

Abstract: Under Section 3 of the 

Railroad Retirement Act, the Tier I 

portion of an employee annuity may be 

subjected to a reduction for benefits 

received based on work not covered 

under the Social Security Act or 

Railroad Retirement Act. The 

questionnaire obtains the information 

needed to determine if the reduction 

applies and the amount of such 

reduction. 

Changes proposed: The RRB proposes 

no changes to Form G–209. 

The burden estimate for the ICR is as 

follows:

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

Extension: 

Rule 15c1–7, SEC File No. 270–146, OMB 

Control No.3235–0134 

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 15c1–7 (17 CFR 

240.15c1–7) under the Securities 

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

seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). The 

Commission plans to submit this 

existing collection of information to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

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

Rule 15c1–7 states that any act of a 

broker-dealer designed to effect 

securities transactions with or for a 

customer account over which the 

broker-dealer (directly or through an 

agent or employee) has discretion will 

be considered a fraudulent, 

manipulative, or deceptive practice 

under the federal securities laws, unless 

a record is made of the transaction 

immediately by the broker-dealer. The 

record must include (a) the name of the 

customer, (b) the name, amount, and 

price of the security, and (c) the date 

and time when such transaction took 

place. 

The Commission estimates that 394 

respondents collect information related 

to approximately 400,000 transactions 

annually under Rule 15c1–7 and that 

each respondent would spend 

approximately 5 minutes on the 

collection of information for each 

transaction, for approximately 33,338 

aggregate hours per year (approximately 

84.6 hours per respondent). 

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 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. 

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. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, 

DC 20549, or by sending an email to: 

PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Dated: October 13, 2017.

Assistant Secretary.
