SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OTS may not conduct or sponsor an 
information collection, and respondents are not required to respond to 
an information collection, unless the information collection displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. As part of the approval process, we 
invite comments on the following information collection.
    Title of Proposal: Application and Termination Notice for Municipal 
Securities Dealer Principal or Representative.
    OMB Number: 1550-0123.
    Form Numbers: MSD-5 and MSD-4.
    Description: Section 15B(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (Act) requires, in part, that municipal securities dealers notify 
their appropriate regulatory agency (ARA) of their activities. This 
information is required to satisfy the requirements of the Act. The 
Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 provides for the 
inclusion of the OTS in the definition of an ARA for federal savings 
associations (FSAs).
    The forms are completed by certain FSA employees that act as 
municipal securities dealer principals or representatives, and are 
submitted to OTS. OTS reviews the information to monitor registered 
persons' entry into, and exit from, municipal securities dealer 
activities. The information contributes to the OTS's understanding of 
the FSA and helps to facilitate the supervision of the municipal 
securities dealer activities.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 11 hours.
    Clearance Officer: Ira L. Mills, (202) 906-6531, Office of Thrift 
Supervision, 1700 G Street, NW., Washington, DC 20552.

    Dated: June 15, 2011.
Ira L. Mills,
Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of Chief Counsel, Office of Thrift 
Supervision.
