Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(‘‘Advisers Act’’) requires each
investment adviser registered with the
Commission to (1) adopt and implement
written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent
violations of the Advisers Act and its
rules, (2) review those compliance
policies and procedures annually, and
(3) designate a chief compliance officer
who is responsible for administering the
compliance policies and procedures.
The rule is designed to protect investors
by fostering better compliance with the
securities laws. The collection of
information under rule 206(4)–7 is
necessary to help ensure that
investment advisers maintain
comprehensive internal programs that
promote the advisers’ compliance with
the Advisers Act and its rules. The
Commission’s examination and
oversight staff may review the
information collected to assess
investment advisers’ compliance
programs. Responses provided to the
Commission pursuant to the rule in the
context of the Commission’s
examination and oversight program are
generally kept confidential. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number.
The respondents to this information
collection are investment advisers
registered with the Commission.
Updated data indicate that there were
15,441 advisers registered with the
Commission as of December 31, 2023.
Each respondent would produce one
response, per year. Commission staff has
estimated that compliance with rule
206(4)–7 imposes an annual burden of
approximately 90 hours per response.
Based on this figure, Commission staff
estimates a total annual burden of
1,389,690 hours for this collection of
information.
The public may view background
documentation for this information
collection at the following website:
www.reginfo.gov. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

notice by November 7, 2024 to (i)

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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 Rules 15Fb1–1 through
15Fb6–2 and Forms SBSE, SBSE–A,
SBSE–BD, SBSE–C and SBSE–W (17
CFR 240.15Fb1–1 through 240.15Fb6–2,
and 17 CFR 249.1600, 249.1600a,
249.1600b, 249.1600c and 249.1601),
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.
The Commission adopted Rules
15Fb1–1 through 15Fb6–2 and Forms
SBSE, SBSE–A, SBSE–BD, SBSE–C and
SBSE–W on August 5, 2015 to create a
process to register SBS Entities. Forms
SBSE, SBSE–A, and SBSE–BD and
SBSE–C were designed to elicit certain
information from applicants. The
Commission uses the information
disclosed by applicants through the SBS
Entity registration rules and forms to: (1)
determine whether an applicant meets
the standards for registration set forth in
the provisions of the Exchange Act; and
(2) develop an information resource
regarding SBS Entities where members
of the public may obtain relevant, up-todate information about SBS Entities,
and where the Commission may obtain
information for examination and
enforcement purposes. Without the
information provided through these SBS
Entity registration rules and forms, the
Commission could not effectively
determine whether the applicant meets
the standards for registration or
implement policy objectives of the
Exchange Act.
