Rule 204-2 sets forth mandatory
requirements for maintaining and preserving specified books and
records. The records that an adviser must keep in accordance with
rule 204-2 must generally be retained for not less than five years.
The proposed amendments to Rule 204-2 would require registered
investment advisers that are parties to contracts under the
proposed new rule 15c6-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“rule 15c6-2”) to make and keep records of their allocations,
confirmations, and affirmations described in rule 15c6-2.

The estimated annual burden
hours associated with rule 204-2 Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(“rule 204-2”) has increased from 2,764,563 hours to 2,786,199
hours (an increase of 21,636 hours). In addition, the external cost
burden associated with rule 204-2 ($0) has not changed. The change
in annual burden hours is due to our proposed amendments to rule
204-2 requiring registered investment advisers that are parties to
contracts under the proposed new rule 15c6-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“rule 15c6-2”) to make and keep records of
their allocations, confirmations, and affirmations described in
rule 15c6-2, as well as changes to the investment adviser
population and the application of the proposed burden to those new
advisers.
