Form 144 (17 CFR 239.144) is used to report the sale of securities
during any three-month period that exceeds 5,000 shares or other units
or has an aggregate sales price that does not exceed $50,000. Under
Sections 2(11), 4(1), 4(2), 4(4) and 19(a) of the Securities Act of
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77b, 77d (1) (2) (4) and 77s (a)) and Rule 144 (17 CFR
230.144) thereunder, the Commission is authorize to solicit the
information required to be supplied by Form 144. Form 144 takes
approximately 1 burden hour per response and is filed by 23,361
respondents for a total of 23,361 total 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 collections 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 OMB control number.

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
