Abstract:
Rule 17a-4 requires certain records to be maintained by certain exchange members and registered brokers and dealers. As part of proposed Regulation Best Interest, the Commission is proposing to amend Rule 17a-4 by revising paragraph (e)(5). In addition, as part of the separate Commission proposal, of new Rule 17a-14 and Form CRS, the Commission is proposing to add paragraph (e)(10) to Rule 17a-4. To aggregate the entire burden of Rule 17a-4 into one information collection (and OMB control number), the Commission is amending the annual burden hours for paragraph (e)(5) of Rule 17a-4 into this information collection.
