SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 15Bc3-1 and Form MSDW, SEC File No. 270-93, OMB Control No. 
3235-0087

    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 (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 15Bc3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides 
that a notice of withdrawal from registration with the Commission as a 
bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSDW.
    The Commission uses the information submitted on Form MSDW in 
determining whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank 
municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. This 
information is also important to the municipal securities dealer's 
customers and to the public, because it provides, among other things, 
the name and address of a person to contact regarding any of the 
municipal securities dealer's unfinished business.
    The staff estimates that approximately 20 respondents will utilize 
this notice annually, with a total burden for all respondents of 10 
hours, based upon past submissions. The staff estimates that the 
average number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of 
Rule 15Bc3-1 is .5 hours. The average cost per hour is approximately 
$101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the respondents is 
$1,010 ($101  x  5  x  20 = $1,010).
    Providing the information on the notice is mandatory in order to 
withdraw from registration with the Commission as a bank municipal 
securities dealer. The information contained in the notice will not be 
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 control number.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, D.C. 20503; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, 
Associate Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20549. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this 
notice.

    Dated: July 3, 2001.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
