interest because it will allow the
exception to permit Market Makers to
facilitate closing transaction of other
market participants in classes that will
be delisted by the Exchange to be
implemented without delay. The
Exchange further notes that the
proposed change is consistent with the
rules of other options exchanges.16 The
Commission does not believe the
proposal raises any new or novel
regulatory issues. Therefore, the
Commission believes that waiver of the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Accordingly, the
Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon
filing.17
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

Rule 204–5
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
The title for the collection of
information is: ‘‘Rule 204–5 under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.’’ Rule
204–5 requires an investment adviser to
deliver an electronic or paper version of
the relationship summary to each retail
investor before or at the time the adviser
enters into an investment advisory
contract with the retail investor. The
purpose of the relationship summary is
to assist retail investors in making an
informed choice when choosing an
investment firm and professional, and
type of account. Retail investors can use
the information required in the
relationship summary to determine
whether to hire or retain an investment
adviser, as well as what types of

accounts and services are appropriate
for their needs.
We estimate the total collection of
information burden for rule 204–5 to be
1,241,670 annual aggregate hours per
year, or 124 hours per respondent, for a
total annual aggregate monetized cost of
$95,678,622, or $9,520 per adviser.
The likely respondents to this
information collection are
approximately 10,050 investment
advisers registered with the Commission
that are required to deliver a
relationship summary to retail investors
pursuant to rule 204–5. We also note
that these figures include the 291
registered broker-dealers that are dually
registered as investment advisers.
The requirements of this collection of
information are mandatory. Responses
will not be 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 OMB Control
Number.
The public may view and comment
on this information collection request
at: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202509-3235-011
or email comment to
MBX.OMB.OIRA.SEC_desk_officer@
omb.eop.gov within 30 days of the day
after publication of this notice, by
January 5, 2026.
Dated: December 2, 2025.
