SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, 
Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 15c1-6; OMB Control No. 3235-0472; SEC File No. 270-423.

    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 
15c1-6 (17 CFR 240.15c1-6) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'').
    Rule 15c1-6 states that any broker-dealer trying to sell to or buy 
from a customer a security in a primary or secondary distribution in 
which the broker-dealer is participating or is otherwise financially 
interested must give the customer written notification of the broker-
dealer's participation or interest at or before completion of the 
transaction. The Commission estimates that 556 respondents collect 
information annually under Rule 15c1-6 and that each respondent would 
spend approximately 10 hours annually complying with the collection of 
information requirement (approximately 5,560 hours in aggregate).
    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 sending an e-mail to: Shagufta_
Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and
    (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief Information Officer, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson, 6432 General 
Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail to PRA_
Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted within 30 days of this 
notice.

    Dated: January 21, 2009.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
