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 Services, 
Washington, DC 20549: Extension: Rule 11Ac1-4, SEC File No. 270-405, 
OMB Control No. 3235-0462.

    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 11Ac1-4 [17 CFR 240.11Ac1-4] under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1034 requires specialists and market makers to publicly display a 
customer limit order when that limit order is priced superior to the 
quote that is currently being displayed by the specialist or market 
maker. Customer limit orders that match the bid or offer being 
displayed by the specialist or market maker must also be displayed if 
the limit order price matches the national best bid or offer. It is 
estimated that approximately 926 broker and dealer respondents incur an 
aggregate burden of 9,056 hours per year to comply with this rule.
    Rule 11Ac1-4 does not contain record retention requirements. 
Compliance with the rule is mandatory. Responses

are not 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.
    Written 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, DC 20503; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, Associate 
Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: August 15, 2001.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
