    Regulation 12B, SEC File No. 270-70, OMB Control No. 3235-0062

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Regulation 12B (17 CFR 240.12b-1 through 12b-37) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange 
Act'') includes rules governing the registration and periodic reporting 
under Sections 12(b), 12(g), 13, and 15(d) (15 U.S.C. 78l(b), 78l(g), 
78m and 78o(d)) of the Exchange Act. The purpose of the regulation is 
set forth guidelines for the uniform preparation of Exchange Act 
registration statement and reports. All information is provided to the 
public for review. The information required is filed on occasion and it 
is mandatory. Regulation 12B is assigned one burden hour for 
administrative convenience because the regulation simply prescribes the 
disclosure that must appear in other filings under the federal 
securities laws.
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
