SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension: Rule 236; OMB Control No. 3235-0095; SEC File No. 270-
118.
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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Rule 236 (17 CFR 230.236) under the Securities Act of 1933
(``Securities Act'') (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires issuers relying
on an exemption from the Securities Act registration requirements for
the public offering of fractional shares, scrip certificates or order
forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, conversion, merger or similar transaction, to furnish to the
Commission specified information at least 10 days prior to the
offering. The information is needed to provide public notice that an
issuer is relying on the exemption. Public companies are the likely
respondents. Approximately 10 respondents file the information required
by Rule 236 at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total of 15
annual burden hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or
send an e-mail to: [email protected].
Dated: June 3, 2011.
Cathy H. Ahn,
Deputy Secretary.
