SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-91, OMB Control No. 3235-0088]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 15Ba2-5

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (``PRA'') (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 
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 
240.15Ba2-5), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    On July 7, 1976, effective July 16, 1976 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 
1976), the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2-5 under the Exchange Act to 
permit a duly-appointed fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility 
for the operation of a municipal securities dealer's business. Without 
the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it 
registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the 
registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the 
registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, 
assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency 
or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, 
judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue 
the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such 
fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon 
the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such 
fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or 
Form BD. The statement is necessary to ensure that the Commission and 
the public have adequate information about the fiduciary.
    There is approximately 1 respondent per year that requires an 
aggregate total of 4 hours to comply with this rule. This respondent 
makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes approximately 
4 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 4 
burden hours. The approximate internal compliance cost per hour is $20, 
resulting in a total internal cost of compliance for the respondent of 
approximately $80 (i.e., 4 hours x $20).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should 
be directed to: (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, or by sending an email to: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an 
email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: September 24, 2019.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
