Merger arb - Net capital requirement

Hi - thanks to this great forum I hope that someone can help me on following:

What are current net capital requirements as broker/dealer if shares are sold short? Is there simply a haircut to the short position? I want to derive the average capital to calc the return on capital in a merger arb situation.

Thanks lot
