Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Rule 15c3–3
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
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 15c3–3 (17 CFR
240.15c3–3), 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.
Furthermore, notice is given regarding
new collections of information that were
previously proposed in Rule 18a-4
(OMB No. 3235–0700) and that were
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 also will have
paperwork burdens to make a record of
each change in account type.
The Commission staff estimates a total
annual time burden of approximately
1,109,518 hours and a total annual cost
burden of approximately $3,516,241 to
comply with the existing information
collection requirements of the rule.
In 2019, the Commission adopted
amendments to establish segregation
and notice requirements for brokerdealers with respect to their securitybased swap activity. The Commission
staff estimates a total annual time
burden of approximately 19,487 hours
and a total annual cost burden of
approximately $13,860 to comply with
the information collection requirements
of the 2019 amendments to the rule.
The Commission staff thus estimates
that the aggregate annual information

Vacate date

collection burden associated with Rule
15c3–3 is approximately 1,129,005
hours and $3,530,101.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed 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 by
August 28, 2023.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington,
DC 20549, or send an email to: PRA_
