SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 15Bc3-1 and Form MSDW; SEC File No. 270-93; OMB Control No. 
3235-0087.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection provided for in Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 
240.15Bc3-1) and Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110) under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 15Bc3-1 provides that a notice of withdrawal from registration 
with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed 
on Form MSDW. The Commission uses the information submitted on Form 
MSDW in determining whether it is in the public interest to permit a 
bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. This 
information is also important to the municipal securities dealer's 
customers and to the public, because it provides, among other things, 
the name and address of a person to contact regarding any of the 
municipal securities dealer's unfinished business.
    The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to 
comply with the requirements of Rule 15Bc3-1 is 0.5 hours. Based upon 
submissions for the last three years, the staff estimates that 
approximately 12 respondents will utilize this notice annually, with a 
total burden for all respondents of 6 hours. The average cost per hour 
is approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the 
respondents is $606 ($101 x 0.5 x 12 = $606).
    Providing the information on the application is mandatory in order 
to register with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer. 
The information contained in the application will not be kept 
confidential. Persons should note that an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities 
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to: Sagufta_
Ahmed@omb.eop.gov and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: August 27, 2010.
