Abstract:
Rule 17a-3 requires certain records to be made by certain exchange members and registered brokers and dealers. The rule serves to standardize prudent business practices. Among other things, these records are essential for regulatory purposes including examinations, investigations, and enforcement proceedings, which are significant customer protection safeguards. In connection with proposed new Rule 17a-14 and Form CRS, and proposed Regulation Best Interest, the Commission is proposing to amend Rule 17a-3 by adding new paragraphs (a)(24) and (a)(25). To aggregate the entire burden of Rule 17a-3 into one information collection (and existing OMB control number), the Commission is adding the annual burden hours for new paragraphs (a)(24) and (a)(25) of Rule 17a-3 into this information collection.
