of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management

previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 
15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 15c3-1 requires brokers-dealers to have at all times

with this rule and an aggregate annual cost burden of approximately 
$135,167.

Compliance with the rule is mandatory. The required records are 
available only to the examination staff of the Commission and the self-
regulatory organization of which the broker-dealer is a member.
    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.

collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
