SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

From: Securities and Exchange Commission,

Office of Filings and Information Services,

Washington, DC 20549.

Extension: Rule 17a–4; SEC File No. 270–

198; OMB Control No. 3235–0279.

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 17a–4 (17 CFR 240.17a–4)

requires exchange members, brokers and

dealers to preserve for prescribed

periods of time certain records required

to be made by Rule 17a–3. In addition,

Rule 17a–4 requires the preservation of

records required to be made by other

Commission rules and other kinds of

records which firms make or receive in

the ordinary course of business. These

include, but are not limited to, bank

statements, cancelled checks, bills

receivable and payable, originals of

communications, and descriptions of

various transactions. Rule 17a–4 also

permits broker-dealers to employ, under

certain conditions, electronic storage

media to maintain records required to

be maintained under Rules 17a–3 and

17a–4.

These are approximately 7,525 active,

registered broker-dealers. The staff

estimates that the average amount of

time necessary to preserve the books

and records as required by Rule 17a–4

is 1.001 hours per broker-dealer per

working day. Thus the staff estimates

that because there are approximately

250 business day per year, the total

compliance burden for 7,525

respondents is 1,883,131 hours.

The staff believes that compliance

personnel would be charged with

ensuring compliance with Commission

regulation, including Rule 17a–4. The

staff estimates that the hourly salary of

a compliance manager is $82.50 per

hour.1 Based upon these numbers, the

total cost of compliance for 7,525

respondents is $155,358,308 per year.2

Despite the total burden hour decrease

of 244,054 (resulting from the decrease

in the number of respondents from

8,500 to 7,525), the increase in the

estimated hourly salary used (from

$48.08 as used in previous estimates to

the $82.50 obtained from the Securities

Industry Association’s survey of

industry salaries, which was not

previously available) caused the total

cost of compliance to be $53,086,138

higher than the previous estimate of

$102,272.170.

Written comments are invited on: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

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 the 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.

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

Registration; (Boulder Total Return

Fund, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par

Value) File No. 1–11652

February 6, 2001.

Boulder Total Return Fund, Inc., a

Maryland corporation (‘‘Company’’), has

filed an application with the Securities

and Exchange Commission

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section

12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of

1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d)

thereunder,2 to withdraw its Common

Stock, $.01 par value (‘‘Security’’), from

listing and registration on the Pacific

Exchange (‘‘PCX’’).

The Security is currently listed and

registered on both the PCX and the New

York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’). The

Company has determined to maintain

the Security’s listing and registration on

the NYSE, but to withdraw its listing

and registration on the PCX. In

explaining its reasons for taking such

action, the Company stated that the low

volume of shares traded on the PCX

does not justify the costs incurred

through maintaining such listing.

The Company has stated in its

application that it has complied with

the rules of the PCX governing the

withdrawal of a security from listing

and registration by the issuer and that

the PCX has in turn indicated that it

will not oppose such proposed

withdrawal. The Company’s application

shall not have any effect on the

Security’s continued listing and

registration on the NYSE.

Any interested person may, on or

before February 28, 2001, submit by

letter to the Secretary of the Securities

and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549–

0609, facts bearing upon whether the

application has been made in

accordance with the rules of the PCX

and what terms, if any, should be

imposed by the Commission for the

protection of investors. The

Commission, based on the information

submitted to it, will issue an order

granting the application after the date

mentioned above, unless the

Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.3
