hours.
    Rule 29 requires the filing of copies of reports submitted by a 
registered holding company or its subsidiary companies to state 
commissions covering operations not reported to the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission. Rule 72 makes the rules under Sections 16 (a) 
and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 applicable to any duty 
or liability imposed under Section 17 (a) or (b) of the Public Utility 
Holding Company Act of 1935. The rule imposes an annual burden of \1/4\

securities required to be filed by officers, directors, and ten percent 
holders of companies registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
