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:
Industry Guides, OMB Control No. 3235-0069, SEC File No. 270-069.
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.
Industry Guides are used by registrants in certain industries as
disclosure guidelines to be followed in presenting information to
investors in Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) and Exchange Act
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) registration statements and certain other
Exchange Act filings. The paperwork burden from the Industry Guides is
imposed through the forms that are subject to the disclosure
requirements in the Industry Guides and is reflected in the analysis of
these documents. To avoid a Paperwork Reduction Act inventory
reflecting duplicative burdens, for administrative convenience the
Commission estimates the total annual burden imposed by the Industry
Guides to be one hour.
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
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or
send an email to: [email protected].
Dated: November 19, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
