SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-XXXX]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Request for New OMB Control 
Number: Form G-FIN, Form G-FINW, Form G-FIN-4, and Form G-FIN-5

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

    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 (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the 
proposed collection of information.
    Under Section 15C(a)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act'') and regulations adopted by the Department of the Treasury, 
certain financial institutions that are government securities brokers 
or government securities dealers submit information regarding their 
government securities activities to their appropriate regulatory 
authority (``ARA'') on the Form G-FIN, 17 CFR 499.1, Form G-FINW, 17 
CFR 449.2, Form G-FIN-4, 17 CFR 449.3, and Form G-FIN-5, 17 CFR 449.4. 
The Commission is designated as the ARA for certain of these financial 
institutions.\1\ These institutions have not been engaged in government 
securities activities in the past and, therefore, have not been 
required to file the forms with the Commission. We do not anticipate 
that these financial institutions will submit the forms in the future, 
but we are requesting an OMB Control Number in the event circumstances 
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission is the ARA for state chartered banks or state 
chartered trust companies that are not members of the Federal 
Reserve System and whose deposits are not insured by the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation and for any other financial 
institutions for which the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not the ARA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collections in the forms are mandatory and, if any 
financial institutions are required to file the forms with the 
Commission, the Commission would use the information to ensure that 
financial institutions and persons who are or are seeking to be 
associated persons of financial institutions are in compliance with 
Section 15C(a)(1)(B) of the Act and with the rules of the Department of 
the Treasury. As a placeholder, the Commission staff estimates that 
there would be one respondent per year for each form, and that the 
estimated annual burden for filing the Form G-FIN is 1.25 hours, the 
Form G-FINW is .5 hours, the Form G-FIN-4 is 2.25 hours, and the Form 
G-FIN-5 is 1.25 hours. Information filed on Form G-FIN and Form G-FINW 
is available to the public, while the information provided by each 
respondent on Form G-FIN-4 and G-FIN-5 is regarded as 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 OMB Control Number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated, 
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection 
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to 
[email protected] by September 5, 2025. There will be a 
second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal 
Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

    Dated: July 2, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
