Summary
The SEC is asking to keep Rule 17a-7, which makes non-U.S. broker-dealers keep their important business records in the U.S. and tell the SEC where to find them. About 53 firms spend roughly an hour a year on this, costing around $18,000 total. This extension keeps things running smoothly with no big changes or extra costs.
