SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Proposed Collection; 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 MSD; 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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for 
extension and approval.
    Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 15Bc3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) provides that a notice of withdrawal from 
registration with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer 
must be filed on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110).
    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 for 
each respondent to comply with the requirements of Rule 15Bc3-1 is 0.5 
hours. Based upon the average number of submissions for the past three 
years, the staff estimates that approximately 12 respondents in total 
will utilize this notice procedure annually, with a total burden of 6 
hours for all respondents. The average cost per hour is approximately 
$101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all respondents is 
$606 ($101 x 0.5 x 12 = $606).

    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 will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate 
of the burden of the 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.
    Please direct your written comments to: Charles Boucher, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312 
or send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

     Dated: June 14, 2010.

Deputy Secretary.
