    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (Commission) has submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget requests for extension on previously approved collections on the 
following rules and forms:
    Rule 489 requires entities that are excepted from the definition of 
investment company by virtue of rule 3a-6 under the Investment Company 
Act of 1940 (1940 Act) to file Form F-N to appoint a United States 
agent for service of process when making a public offering of 
securities in the United States. It is estimated that each of the fifty 
respondents on Form F-N incur an average of one burden hour annually.
    Rule 3 permits a bank which is also a public utility holding 
company to claim exemption from the Public Utility Holding Company Act 
of 1934 (Act) by filing an annual statement on Form U-3A3-1. The 
Commission receives five filings from banks annually, each taking about 
two hours to complete, thus imposing a total annual burden of ten 
hours.
    Rule 95 requires service companies to file reports on Form U-13E-1 
with the Commission prior to performing under contracts for registered 
holding companies or their subsidiaries, for services, construction, or 
the sale of goods. One company meets this requirement annually, at an 
estimated average annual burden of two hours.
    Form U-7D establishes the filing company's right to the exemption 
authorized for financing entities holding title to utility assets 
leased to a utility company. The form imposes a total burden of 126 
hours on 42 respondents.
    Rule 1(a) and 1(b) and Forms U5A and U5B implement Sections 5(a) 
and 5(b) of the Act which require any holding company or any person 
proposing to become a holding company to file with the Commission a 
notification of registration and registration statement, respectively. 
The burden of this requirement is approximately 80 hours annually for 
one respondent.
    Rule 26 sets forth the financial statement and recordkeeping 
requirements for registered holding companies and subsidiaries. The 
burden of this filing is included in the burden of filing Form U5S, 
which is submitted separately, thus Rule 26 imposes no annual burden.
    Rule 62 prohibits the solicitation of authorization regarding any 
security of a regulated company in connection with reorganization 
subject to Commission approval or regarding any transaction which is 
the subject of an application or declaration, except pursuant to a 
declaration regarding the solicitation which has become effective. The 
rule and Form U-R-1 impose a burden of 50 hours annually on 10 
companies.
    Rule 44 implements Section 12(d) of the Act by prohibiting sales of 
utility securities or any utility assets owned by a registered holding 
company, except pursuant to a declaration which notifies the Commission 
of the proposed sale and which has become effective. The rule imposes a 
burden of 72 hours annually on 3 respondents.
    Rule 88 requires the filing of Form U-13-1 for a mutual or 
subsidiary service company performing services for affiliate companies 
of a holding company system. The rule imposes a burden of 36 hours 
annually on 18 respondents.
    Direct general comments to the Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission at the address below. Direct any comments 
concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours for 
compliance with the Commission rules and forms to John J. Lane, 
Associate Executive Director, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Desk Officer for the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, (Project Numbers 3235-0411, 3235-
0160, 3235-0162, 3235-0165, 3235-0170, 3235-0183, 3235-0152, 3235-0147 
and 3235-0182), Office of Management and Budget, Room 3208, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
