SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
 

Requests Under Review by Office of Management and Budget

    Agency Clearance Office: John J. Lane, (202) 942-8800.
    Upon Written Request Copy Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.
    Proposed Amendments: Rule 15c2-12; File No. 270-330.
    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted for Office of Management and 
Budget approval proposed amendments to rule 15c2-12 under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78 et seq.). The proposed 
amendments to rule 15c2-12 would make it unlawful for a broker, dealer, 
or municipal securities dealer to act as an underwriter of an issue of 
municipal securities unless the issuer or its designated agent has 
undertaken in a written agreement or contract for the benefit of the 
holders of such municipal securities to provide certain information to 
a nationally recognized municipal securities information repository, 
and would require brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers, 
prior to recommending a transaction in a municipal security, to review 
the information the issuer of the municipal security has undertaken to 
provide. It is anticipated that approximately 12,003 brokers, dealers, 
municipal securities dealers, issuers of municipal securities, and 
nationally recognized municipal securities information repositories 
will spend a total of 65,050 hours complying with rule 15c2-12.
    Direct general comments to Gary Waxman at the address below. Direct 
any comments concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden 
hours for compliance with the Commission rules and forms to John J. 
Lane, Associate Executive Director, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Gary Waxman, Clearance 
Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Act 
Number 3235-0372, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, 
DC 20503.

    Dated: March 9, 1994.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
