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 8-A; SEC File No. 270-054; OMB Control No. 3235-0056.

    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 8-A (17 CFR 249.208a) is a registration statement used to 
register a class of securities under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g)) 
(``Exchange Act''). Section 12(a) (15 U.S.C. 78l(a)) of the Exchange 
Act makes it unlawful for any member, broker, or dealer to effect any 
transaction in any security (other than an exempted security) on a 
national securities exchange unless such security has been registered 
under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Exchange

[[Page 59440]]

Act Section 12(b) establishes the registration procedures. Exchange Act 
Section 12(g) requires an issuer that is not a bank or bank holding 
company to register a class of equity securities (other than exempted 
securities) within 120 days after its fiscal year end if, on the last 
day of its fiscal year, the issuer has total assets of more than $10 
million and the class of equity securities is ``held of record'' by 
either (i) 2,000 persons, or (ii) 500 persons who are not accredited 
investors. An issuer that is a bank or a bank holding company, must 
register a class of equity securities (other than exempted securities) 
within 120 days after the last day of its first fiscal year ended after 
the effective date of the JOBS Act if, on the last day of its fiscal 
year, the issuer has total assets of more than $10 million and the 
class of equity securities is ``held of record'' by 2,000 or more 
persons. Form 8-A takes approximately 3 hours to prepare and is filed 
by approximately 871 respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 
2,613 hours (3 hours per response x 871 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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 Charles Riddle, Acting 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an 
email to: [email protected].

    Dated: November 19, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
