Rule 17a-7 was adopted in 1956, and requires non-resident brokers or dealers registered with the Securities Exchange Commission to make and keep copies of requisite books and records in the United States or to file an undertaking agreeing to make them available to the Commission upon request.
The annual recordkeeping hour burden is 9 hours more than the current OMB inventory of 54 hours. The increase is due to an adjustment of the number of respondents from 54 to 63.
