Abstract: Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers and their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.
