SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-091, OMB Control No. 3235-0088]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request: Extension: Rule 15Ba2-5

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 ("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 existing collection of information provided for in Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq. ) ("Exchange Act").

On July 7, 1976, effective July 16, 1976 ( see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 1976), the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2-5 under the Exchange Act to permit a duly-appointed fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a municipal securities dealer's business. Without the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD. The statement is necessary to ensure that the Commission and the public have adequate information about the fiduciary.

There is approximately one respondent per year that requires an aggregate total of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This respondent makes an estimated one annual response. Each response takes approximately 4 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is approximately four hours. The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is $25, resulting in a total internal cost of compliance of approximately $100 per year ( i.e., 4 hours × $25).

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.
