Short Statement: The form MSD is a one-time-only form with amendments whenever the form becomes inaccurate. The Commission annually receives approximately 3 new applications on Form MSD and 38 amended applications. The time required to complete Form MSD varies with the size and complexity of the bank municipal securities dealer's proposed operations. Bank personnel that prepare Forms MSD previously indicated that it can take up to 15 hours for a bank with a large operation and many employees to complete the form, but that smaller banks with fewer personnel can complete the form in one to two hours. We believe that most recent applications have come from smaller banks. Also, amendments to form MSD are likely to require significantly less time. We estimate that the annual burden is currently 61.5 hours at an average of 1.5 hours per respondent.
