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 1-Z, SEC File No. 270-659, OMB Control No. 3235-0723.
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 1-Z (17 CFR 239.94) is used to report terminated or completed
offerings or to suspend the duty to file ongoing reports under
Regulation A, an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C 77a et seq.). The purpose of the Form 1-Z is to
collect empirical data for the Commission on offerings conducted under
Regulation A that have terminated or completed, to indicate to the
Commission that issuers that have conducted Tier 2 offering are
suspending their duty to file reports under Regulation A and to provide
such information to the investing public. We estimate that
approximately 12 issuers file Form 1-Z annually. We estimate that Form
1-Z takes approximately 1.5 hours to prepare. We estimate that 100% of
the 1.5 hours per response is prepared by the company for a total
annual burden of 18 hours (1.5 hours per response x 12 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 comments to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 220549; or send an email
to: [email protected].
Dated: April 23, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
