SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-146, OMB Control No. 3235-0134]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, Washington, DC 20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15c1-7

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of 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'').
    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).
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov.
    Please direct your written comments to: Pamela Dyson, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an 
email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: December 15, 2017.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
