SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC

Extension:
Regulation 12B;
OMB Control No. 3235-0062, SEC File No. 270-70.
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.
Regulation 12B (17 CFR 240.12b-1--12b-37) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'')
includes rules governing the registration and periodic reporting
requirements under Sections 12(b), 12(g), 13(a), and 15(d) (15 U.S.C.
78l(b), 78l(g), 78m(a) and 78o(d)) of the Exchange Act. The purpose of
the regulation is to set forth guidelines for the uniform preparation
of Exchange Act registration statements and reports. Regulation 12B is
assigned one burden hour for administrative convenience because the
regulation simply prescribes the disclosure that must appear in other
filings under the federal securities laws.
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.
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.
Please direct your written comment to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email
to: [email protected].
Dated: August 7, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
