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.
