SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Request Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

[Extension: Rule 15c1-7, SEC File No. 270-146, OMB control No. 3235-
0134]

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, 
Washington, DC 20549.

    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 
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a 
request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 15c1-7 provides that any act of a broker-dealer designed to 
effect securities transactions with or for a customer account over 
which the broker-dealer (directly or through an agent or employee) has 
discretion will be considered a fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive 
practice under the federal securities laws, unless a record is made of 
the transaction immediately by the broker-dealer. The record must 
include (a) the name of the customer, (b) the name, amount, and price 
of the security, and (c) the date and time when such transaction took 
place. The Commission estimates that 500 respondents collect 
information annually under rule 15c1-7 and that approximately 33,333 
hours would be required annually for these collections.
    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.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission 
at the address below. Any comments concerning the accuracy of the 
estimated average burden hours for compliance with Commission rules and 
forms should be directed to Michael E. Bartell, Associate Executive 
Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Desk 
Officer for Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503. Comments must be submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget within 30 days of this notice.
