Rule 17a5(c); SEC File No. 270199; OMB Control No. 32350199.

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 extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.

Rule 17a5(c) [17 CFR 240.17a5(c)] under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain brokerdealers who carry customer accounts to provide statements of the brokerdealer's financial condition to their customers. Paragraph (5) of Rule 17a5(c) provides a conditional exemption from this requirement. It is estimated that approximately 375 brokerdealer respondents with approximately 109 million public customer accounts incur an average burden of 130,000 hours per year to comply with this rule.

Rule 17a5(c) does not contain record retention requirements. Compliance with the rule is mandatory. Responses are not 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 control number.

General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be directed to the following persons: (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:
