SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.
Extension:
Form SD; SEC File No. 270-647, OMB Control No. 3235-0697.
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.
Form SD (17 CFR 249b--400) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)(``Exchange Act'') pursuant to Section 13(p)(15
U.S.C. 78m(p)) of the Exchange Act is filed by issuers to provide
disclosures regarding the source and chain of custody of certain
minerals used in their products. We estimate that Form SD takes
approximately 480.61 hours per response to prepare and is filed by
approximately 864 issuers. We estimate that 75% of the 480.61 hours per
response (360.46 hours) is prepared by the issuer internally for a
total annual burden of 311,437 hours (360.46 hours per response x 864
responses).
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 Pamela Dyson, 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: February 24, 2016.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
