SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Under Review by Office of Management and Budget
Acting Agency Clearance Officer: David T. Copenhafer, (202) 942-8800.
Upon Written Request, Copy Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, 450 Fifth
Street NW., Washington, D.C. 20549.
Proposed Rule and Form: Rule 204-4--File No. 270-398; Form ADV-B--File
No. 270-398.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission has submitted for OMB approval Rule 204-4 and Form ADV-B
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ``Advisers Act'').
The proposed rule would require each investment adviser, registered
or required to be registered under the Adviser Act, that has the
discretion to direct client brokerage transactions and receives
services other than execution in exchange for that brokerage, to
provide its clients with a report that would contain information about
its use of client brokerage. The proposed form would set forth the
information required to be included in the annual report. The proposed
rule does not involve any burden separate from the requirement to
prepare and file the proposed form.
It is estimated that approximately 6,000 advisers would be required
to file Form ADV-B with the Commission, and that each adviser
completing the form would incur 20 burden hours in its preparation. The
estimate of burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act and is not derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the cost of SEC rules and forms.
General comments may be directed to the OMB Clearance Officer for
the Securities and Exchange Commission at the address below. Comments
concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours for
compliance with Commission rules and forms should be directed to David
T. Copenhafer, Acting Director, Office of Information Technology,
Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street NW., Washington,
D.C. 20549, and to the OMB Clearance Officer for the SEC, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs (Paperwork Reduction Act numbers
3235--new (for Rule 204-4), 3235--new (for Form ADV-B), Office of
Management and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, D.C. 20543.
Dated: March 9, 1995.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
