Commission, Office of FOIA

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 15c1–5 (17 CFR 240.15c1–5) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15c1–5 states that any brokerdealer controlled by, controlling, or
under common control with the issuer
of a security that the broker-dealer is
trying to sell to or buy from a customer
must give the customer written
notification disclosing the control
relationship at or before completion of
the transaction. The Commission
estimates that 175 respondents provide
notifications annually under Rule 15c1–
5 and that each respondent would
spend approximately 10 hours per year
complying with the requirements of the
rule for a total burden of approximately
1,750 hours per year. There is no
retention period requirement under
Rule 15c1–5. This Rule does not involve
the collection of confidential
information.
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.
The public may view background

change, disapprove the proposed rule
change, or institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved unless
the Commission extends the period
within which it must act as provided in
Section 19(b)(2)(ii) of the Exchange
Act.5 Section 19(b)(2)(ii) of the
Exchange Act allows the Commission to
designate a longer period for review (up
to 90 days from the publication of notice
of the filing of a proposed rule change)
if the Commission finds such longer
period to be appropriate and publishes
its reasons for so finding, or as to which
the self-regulatory organization
consents.6
The 45th day after publication of the
Notice of Filing is October 14, 2023. In
order to provide the Commission with
sufficient time to consider the Proposed
Rule Change, the Commission finds that
it is appropriate to designate a longer
period within which to take action on
the proposed rule change and therefore
is extending this 45-day time period.
Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act,7 designates November
28, 2023, as the date by which the
Commission shall either approve,
disapprove, or institute proceedings to
determine whether to disapprove
proposed rule change SR–NCC–2023–
007.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.8
