Extension:
Rule 203–3, Form ADV–H

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 extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form ADV–H under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.’’ Rule
203–3 (17 CFR 275.203–3) under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80b) requires that registered
advisers requesting either a temporary
or continuing hardship exemption
submit the request on Form ADV–H.
Rule 204–4 (17 CFR 275.204–4) under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
requires that exempt reporting advisers
requesting a temporary hardship
exemption submit the request on Form
ADV–H. The purpose of this collection
of information is to permit advisers to
obtain a hardship exemption to not
complete an electronic filing. The
temporary hardship exemption that is
available to registered advisers under
rule 203–3 and exempt reporting
advisers under rule 204–4 permits these
advisers to make late filings due to
unforeseen computer or software
problems. The continuing hardship
exemption available to registered
advisers under rule 203–3 permits
advisers to submit all required
electronic filings on hard copy for data
entry by the operator of the IARD.
The Commission has estimated that
compliance with the requirement to
complete Form ADV–H imposes a total
burden of approximately one hour for
an adviser. Based on our experience, we
estimate that we will receive 15 Form
ADV–H filings annually from registered
investment advisers and one Form
ADV–H filing annually from exempt
reporting advisers. Based on the 60
minute per respondent estimate, the
Commission estimates a total annual
burden of 16 hours for this collection of
information.
Rule 203–3, rule 204–4, and Form
ADV–H do not require recordkeeping or
records retention. The collection of
information requirements under the rule
and form are mandatory. The
information collected pursuant to the
rule and Form ADV–H consists of filings
with the Commission. These filings are
not kept confidential. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection

Extension:
Rule 15c3–3

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 previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 15c3–3 (17 CFR 240.15c3–3),
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Furthermore, notice is given regarding
new collections of information that were
previously proposed in Rule 18a–4
(OMB No. 3235–0700) and that are
being moved to this Rule 15c3–3 (OMB
No. 3235–0078) based on comments
received during the rulemaking process.
With respect to the extension of the
previously approved collection of
information, Rule 15c3–3 requires that a
broker-dealer that holds customer
securities obtain and maintain
possession and control of fully-paid and
excess margin securities they hold for

customers. In addition, the Rule
requires that a broker-dealer that holds
customer funds make either a weekly or
monthly computation to determine
whether certain customer funds need to
be segregated in a special reserve bank
account for the exclusive benefit of the
firm’s customers. It also requires that a
broker-dealer maintain a written
notification from each bank where a
Special Reserve Bank Account is held
acknowledging that all assets in the
account are for the exclusive benefit of
the broker-dealer’s customers, and to
provide written notification to the
Commission (and its designated
examining authority) under certain,
specified circumstances. Finally, brokerdealers that sell securities futures
products (‘‘SFP’’) to customers must
provide certain notifications to
customers and make a record of any
changes of account type.
A broker-dealer required to maintain
the Special Reserve Bank Account
prescribed by Rule 15c3–3 must obtain
and retain a written notification from
each bank in which it has a Special
Reserve Bank Account to evidence the
bank’s acknowledgement that assets
deposited in the Account are being held
by the bank for the exclusive benefit of
the broker-dealer’s customers. In
addition, a broker-dealer must
immediately notify the Commission and
its designated examining authority if it
fails to make a required deposit to its
Special Reserve Bank Account. Finally,
a broker-dealer that effects transactions
in SFPs for customers will also have
paperwork burdens to make a record of
each change in account type.
The Commission staff estimates a total
annual time burden of approximately
625,490 hours and a total annual cost
burden of approximately $1,440,513 to
comply with the existing information
collection requirements of the rule.
With respect to the new collections of
information, in 2019, the Commission
adopted amendments to establish
segregation and notice requirements for
broker-dealers with respect to their
security-based swap activity. The
Commission staff estimates a total
annual time burden of approximately
96,601 hours and a total annual cost
burden of approximately $65,334 to
comply with the new information
collection requirements of the rule.
The Commission staff thus estimates
that the aggregate annual information
collection burden associated with Rule
15c3–3 is approximately 722,091 hours
and $1,505,847.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
