Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Form 12b-25, OMB Control No. 3235-0058, SEC File No. 270-71.
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.
The purpose of Form 12b-25 (17 CFR 240.12b-25) is to provide notice
to the Commission and the marketplace that a public company will be
unable to timely file a required periodic report or transition report
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C 78a et seq.).
If all the filing conditions of the form are satisfied, the company is
granted an automatic filing extension. Approximately 7,799 registrants
file Form 12b-25 and it takes approximately 2.5 hours per response for
a total of 19,498 burden hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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
