Abstract: Rule 17h-1T requires a broker-dealer to maintain and preserve records regarding the financial and securities activities, and other information concerning the holding company, affiliates and subsidiaries of the broker-dealer that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial or operational condition of the broker-dealer. Rule 17h-2T requires a broker-dealer to file with the Commission quarterly reports and a cumulative year-end report concerning the information required to be maintained and preserved under Rule 17h-1T.

Emergency Justfication: Rules 17h-1T and 17h-2T enable the Commission to monitor the activities of broker-dealer affiliates through its access to affiliate information and receipt of reports on a quarterly basis. However, Commission staff inadvertently and mistakenly did not complete the recent extension for this control number and it expired on February 28, 2022. Emergency reinstatement would prevent the disruption of normal collection efforts pursuant to Rules 17h-1T and 2T, which are still in force. The information collected pursuant to Rules 17h-1T and 2T is necessary to further the regulatory directive to monitor the activities of broker-dealer affiliates. Without this information, the Commission would be unable to assess the potentially damaging impact of an affiliate’s activities on the broker-dealer. Emergency reinstatement would allow the Commission to continue to monitor the activities of a covered broker-dealer’s affiliate whose business activities are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial and operational condition of the broker-dealer.
