SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request; Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 433; OMB Control No. 3235-0617; SEC File No. 270-558.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 433 (17 CFR 230.433) governs the use and filing of free 
writing prospectuses under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.). The purpose of Rule 433 is to reduce the restrictions on 
communications that a company can make to investors during a registered 
offering of its securities, while maintaining a high level of investor 
protection. A free writing prospectus meeting the conditions of Rule 
433(d)(1) must be filed with the Commission and is publicly available. 
We estimate that it takes approximately 1.3 burden hours per response 
to prepare a free writing prospectus and that the information is filed 
by 2,906 respondents approximately 1.25 times a year for a total of 
3,633 responses. We estimate that 25% of the 1.3 burden hours per 
response (0.32 hours) is prepared by the respondent for total annual 
reporting burden of approximately 1,163 hours (0.32 hours x 3,633 
responses).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for 
the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an e-
mail to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an 
e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: April 15, 2011.
Cathy H. Ahn,
Deputy Secretary.
