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 (the ‘‘SEC’’
or the ‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting
comments on the collections of
information summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this
collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
approval.
The SEC’s Office of Investor
Education and Advocacy seeks to
commence a collection of information.
The title of this collection is the
Individual Investor Plain English
Survey Project. This project will
conduct focus groups and telephone
surveys of individual investors in SEC
registered securities, plus similar
surveys of non-investors. The project
will seek to gauge the level of individual
investor satisfaction with current and
potential future SEC-mandated
disclosures, to learn whether investors
and non-investors believe such
disclosures are written in plain English
and are reader-friendly, and to ask
individual investors how such
disclosures might be improved. The
Commission will use this information in
order to gain a comprehensive
understanding of a range of views. The
SEC intends to hire a professional
survey firm to conduct the focus groups
and telephone surveys. The total annual
reporting and recordkeeping burden of
this collection of information is
estimated to be less than 1,000 burden
hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
Please direct your written comments
to R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley

Submission for OMB Review;

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of Investor

Washington, DC 20549–0213.
Extension: Rule 15Ba2–5; OMB Control No.
3235–0088; SEC File No. 270–91.
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
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the existing collection of
information provided for in the
following rule: Rule 15Ba2–5 (17 CFR
240.15Ba2–5).
On July 7, 1975, effective July 16,
1975 (see 41 FR 28948, July 14, 1975),
the Commission adopted Rule 15Ba2–5
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) 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
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:58 Nov 01, 2007 Jkt 214001
annual response. Each response takes
approximately 4 hours to complete.
Thus, the total compliance burden per
year is 4 burden hours. The approximate
cost per hour is $20, resulting in a total
cost of compliance for the respondent of
approximately $80 (i.e., 4 hours × $20).
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.
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
