Commission’s examination staff, it is
accorded the same level of
confidentiality accorded to other
responses provided to the Commission
in the context of its examination and
oversight program. 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.

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 previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 15c2–1, (17 CFR 240.15c2–1),
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 15c2–1 prohibits broker-dealers
from commingling under the same lien
securities of their margin customers
with securities of the broker-dealer and
those of other customers without their
written consent. The rule also prohibits
the re-hypothecation of customers’
margin securities for a sum in excess of
the customer’s aggregate indebtedness.
Respondents must collect information
necessary to prevent the rehypothecation of customer securities,
issue and retain copies of notices of
hypothecation of customer securities,
and collect written consents from
customers.
There are approximately 59
respondents. Each of these respondents
makes an estimated 45 responses per
year and each response takes
approximately 0.5 hours to complete,
resulting in an industry-wide annual
burden of approximately 1,327 hours.
The retention period for the
recordkeeping requirement under Rule
15c2–1 is not less than two years
following the date the notice is
submitted. The recordkeeping
requirement under this rule is
mandatory to assist the Commission in
monitoring respondents who fail to
collect the information required under
the rule. This rule does not involve the
collection of confidential information.
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.
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 by
January 22, 2024 to

Director/Chief Information Officer,
