SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission Office of Filings and Information Services, 
Washington, DC 20549, ``Tell Us How We're Doing!'' SEC File No. 270-
406, OMB Control No. 3235-0463.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    The title of the questionnaire is ``Tell Us How We're Doing!''
    The Commission currently sends the questionnaire to persons who 
have used the services of the Commission's Office of Investor Education 
and Assistance. The questionnaire consists mainly of eight (8) 
questions concerning the quality of services provided by OIEA. Most of 
the questions can be answered by checking a box on the questionnaire.
    The Commission needs the information to evaluate the quality of 
services provided by OIEA. Supervisory personnel of OIEA use the 
information collected in assessing staff performance and for 
determining what improvements or changes should be made in OIEA 
operations for services provided to investors.
    The respondents to the questionnaire are some of those investors 
who request assistance or information from OIEA. In 1998, for example, 
the number of investors who responded was 355, or about 4.7 percent.
    The total reporting burden of the questionnaire in 1998 was 
approximately 89 hours. This was calculated by multiplying the total 
number of investors who responded to the questionnaire times how long 
it is estimated to take to complete the questionnaire (355 respondents 
x  15 minutes = 89 hours).
    Providing the information on the questionnaire is voluntary, and 
responses are kept confidential.
    Members of the public should be aware that an agency may not 
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a 
collection of information unless a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget control number is displayed.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, D.C. 20503; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, 
Associate Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20549. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this 
notice.

    Dated: April 15, 1999.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
