SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

Extension: 

Rule 15c2–1, SEC File No. 270–418, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0485 

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 15c2–1, (17 CFR 

240.15c2–1), under the Securities 

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

seq.). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

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

Rule 15c2–1 prohibits the 

commingling under the same lien of 

securities of margin customers (a) with 

other customers without their written 

consent, and (b) with the broker-dealer. 

The rule also prohibits the rehypothecation of customers’ margin 

securities for a sum in excess of the 

customer’s aggregate indebtedness. 

Pursuant to Rule 15c2–1, respondents 

must collect information necessary to 

prevent the re-hypothecation of 

customer securities in contravention of 

the rule, issue and retain copies of 

notices of hypothecation of customer 

securities 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 79 

respondents (i.e., broker-dealers that 

conducted business with the public, 

filed Part II or Part IICSE of the FOCUS 

Report, did not claim an exemption 

from the Rule 15c3–3 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 1,778 hours to comply 

with the rule. Each of these 

approximately 79 registered brokerdealers makes an estimated 45 annual 

responses. Each response takes 

approximately 0.5 hours to complete. 

Thus, the total compliance burden per 

year is 1,778 burden hours. 

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 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 send an email to: PRA_
