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 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (``Securities Act'') provides an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act for the offering of shares of
stock or similar securities to provide funds to be distributed to
security holders in lieu of fractional shares, scrip certificates or
order forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, conversion, merger or similar transaction. Issuers wishing
to rely upon the exemption are required to furnish specified
information to the Commission at least 10 days prior to the offering.
The information is needed to provide notice that the issuer is relying
on the
[[Page 42383]]
exemption. Approximately 10 respondents file the information required
by Rule 236 at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total annual
reporting burden of 15 hours (1.5 hours per response x 10 responses).
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.
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: July 15, 2014.
