In connection with the proposal, the Department proposes to amend PTE 75-1, Parts I, II and V, to adjust the recordkeeping requirement. An amendment is being proposed to PTE 75-1, Part V, to require a new disclosure requirement. Additionally, the Department has updated the number of commercial banks and broker-dealers, as well as the wage costs due to increased labor costs and inflation. Furthermore, the Department has revised the additional time needed to maintain records for the financial institutions to be consistent with the exemption. In the previous information collection, the average hour burden was estimated to be 10 minutes per entity annually. In the current information collection, the average hour burden is estimated to be four hours per entity annually. As a result, the number of responses has decreased by 1,702 responses and the hour burden increased by 14,827 hours.
