Rule 607 requires disclosure on each new account and on a yearly basis thereafter, on the annual statement, the firm's policies regarding receipt of payment for order flow from any market makers, exchanges or exchange members to which it routes customers' orders in national market system securities for executions; and information regarding the aggregate amount of monetary payments, discounts, rebated or reduction in fees received by the firm over the past year.
Regarding the emergency reinstatement: The Commission and staff participate in ongoing dialogue with representatives of various market participants through public conferences, meetings, and informal exchanges. However, because the Commission is requesting a reinstatement of a previously approved information collection on an emergency basis, the Commission has not yet specifically solicited comments on this information collection. If reinstatement is granted, the Commission will publish a notice soliciting comments in the Federal Register prior to seeking an extension of the term of the information collection.
This OMB number was previously reinstated just last year. However, due to an issue with our internal tracking system, it was inadvertently allowed to expire. We are requesting emergency approval so that the number may be reinstated while we work on the extension. We have reviewed the burden estimates and Supporting Statement that were previously submitted and we do not have any changes. In addition, we have attached a separate memo to request the emergency reinstatement.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
