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 were
moved to this Rule 15c3–3 (OMB No.
3235–0078) based on comments
received during the rulemaking process.

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
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
collection burden associated with Rule
15c3–3 is approximately 1,129,005
hours and $3,530,101.
