Rule 15Bc3–1 and Form MDSW—
Withdrawal from Registration of
Municipal Securities Dealers.

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’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 15Bc3–1 (17 CFR
15Bc3–1) and Form MSDW (17 CFR
249.1110) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.). The Commission plans to submit
this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
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.
Based upon past submissions of one
filing in 2016, two filings in 2017, zero
filings in 2018, and one filing so far in
2019, the staff estimates that, on an
annual basis, approximately one bank
municipal securities dealer will file a
notice of withdrawal from registration
with the Commission as a bank
municipal securities dealer on Form
MSDW. The staff estimates that the
average number of hours necessary to
comply with the notice requirements set
out in Rule 15Bc3–1 and Form MSDW
is 0.5 per respondent, for a total burden
of 0.5 hours per year. The staff estimates
that the average internal compliance
cost per hour is approximately $417.1
Therefore, the estimated total annual
cost of compliance is approximately
$209 per year (0.5 hours/year × $417/
hour = $208.5/year, rounded up to
$209).
Rule 15Bc3–1 does not contain an
explicit recordkeeping requirement, but
the instructions for filing Form MSDW
state that an exact copy should be
retained by the registrant. Providing the
information on the application is
1 The estimate of $417 per hour is for a
compliance attorney, based on the Securities
Industry and Financial Markets Association’s
Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission
staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and
inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for
bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.

registration with the Commission as a
bank municipal securities dealer. The
information contained in the notice will
not be kept confidential.
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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
subject to the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Rule 15Ba2–1 and Form MSD.

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’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 15Ba2–1 (17 CFR
240.15Ba2–1) and Form MSD (17 CFR
249.1100), under the Securities and

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 15Ba2–1 provides that an
application for registration with the
Commission by a bank municipal
securities dealer must be filed on Form
MSD. The Commission uses the
information obtained from Form MSD
filings to determine whether bank
municipal securities dealers meet the
standards for registration set forth in the
Act, to maintain a central registry where
members of the public may obtain
information about particular bank
municipal securities dealers, and to
develop risk assessment information
about bank municipal securities dealers.
Form MSD is a one-time registration
form that must be amended only if it
becomes inaccurate. Based upon past
submissions of two initial filings and 11
amendments in 2016, zero initial filings
and 22 amendments in 2017, zero initial
filings and 18 amendments in 2018, and
zero initial filings and zero amendments
so far in 2019, the Commission
estimates that on an annual basis
approximately 1 respondent will utilize
Form MSD for an initial registration
application, and that approximately 13
respondents will utilize Form MSD for
an amendment, for a total of 14
respondents per year. The time required
to complete Form MSD varies with the
size and complexity of the bank
municipal securities dealer’s proposed
operations. Bank personnel that prepare
Form MSD filings previously indicated
that it can take up to 15 hours for a bank
with a large operation and many
employees to complete the form, but
that smaller banks with fewer personnel
can complete the form in one to two
hours. We believe that most recent
applications have come from smaller
banks. Also, amendments to form MSD
are likely to require significantly less
time. We estimate that the total annual
burden is currently 21 hours at an
average of 1.5 hours per respondent. (14
respondents/year × 1.5 hours/
respondent = 21 hours/year). The staff
estimates that the average internal
compliance cost per hour is
approximately $417.1 Therefore, the
estimated total annual cost of
compliance is approximately $8,757 per
1 The estimate of $417 per hour is for a

Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission
staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and
inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for
bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.

year (21 hours/year × $417/hour =
$8,757/year).
Rule 15Ba2–1 does not contain an
explicit recordkeeping requirement, but
the rule does require the prompt
correction of any information on Form
MSD that becomes inaccurate, meaning
that bank municipal securities dealers
need to maintain a current copy of Form
MSD indefinitely. In addition, the
instructions for filing Form MSD state
that an exact copy should be retained by
the registrant. 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.
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 shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
