    Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), that the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted proposed rule revisions for 
OMB approval.
    Form 8-K is used to disclose current reports under the Exchange 
Act. If the proposed revisions are adopted, an estimated 12,300 
respondents would file Form 8-K annually at an estimated 5 burden hours 
per response with a total annual burden of 61,500 hours.
    Regulations S-K and S-B provide an integrated disclosure system for 
reports and registration statements filed pursuant to the federal 
securities laws. If the proposed revisions are adopted, an estimated 1 
burden hour would be required for Regulation S-K; and 1 burden hour 
would be required for Regulation S-B. Regulation C provides standard 
instructions to guide registrants filing registration statements 
pursuant to the federal securities laws. If the proposed revisions are 
adopted, an estimated 1 burden hour would be required for Regulation C.
    Forms F-1, F-2, F-3, and F-4 are used to register securities of 
certain foreign private issuers under the Securities Act of 1933. The 
staff estimates that if the proposed amendments are adopted, 
approximately 13 respondents would file Form F-1 annually at an 
estimated 2,195 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
28,535 hours; 3 respondents would file Form F-2 annually at an 
estimated 769 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
2,307 hours; 5 respondents would file Form F-3 annually at an estimated 
219 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 1,095 
hours; and 2 respondents would file Form F-4 annually at an estimated 
1,314 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 2,628 
hours.
    Forms S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4, S-8, and S-11 are used to register 
securities to be issued publicly under the Securities Act of 1933. If 
the proposed amendments are adopted, the staff estimates that 
approximately 1,239 respondents would file Form S-1 annually at an 
estimated 1,270 burden hours per response with a total burden of 
1,573,530 hours; 334 respondents would file Form S-2 annually at an 
estimated 502 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
167,668 hours; 2,280 respondents would file Form S-3 annually at an 
estimated 428 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
975,840 hours; 505 respondents would file Form S-4 annually at an 
estimated 1,240 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
626,200 hours; 2,854 respondents would file Form S-8 annually at an 
estimated 47 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
134,138 hours; and 340 respondents would file Form S-11 annually at an 
estimated 872 burden hours per response with a total annual burden of 
296,480 hours.
    Form SB-2 is used to register publicly offered securities of small 
business issuers under the Securities Act of 1933. If the proposed 
rules are adopted, it is estimated that approximately 259 respondents 
would file Form SB-2 annually at an estimated 929 burden hours per 
response with a total annual burden to 240,611 hours.
    Rule 30d-1 prescribes the minimum content of reports to 
shareholders that management investment companies must send at least 
semi-annually. The rule requires approximately 600 hours annually per 
respondent. The amendment to rule 30d-1 submitted for approval requires 
respondents to provide additional information related to matters 
submitted to a vote of shareholders. This revision will increase the 
amount of time needed to comply with rule 30d-1 by one hour annually 
per respondent.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to the Clearance Officer of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission at the address below. Any comments concerning the accuracy 
of the estimated average burden hours for compliance with Commission 
rules and forms should be directed to Richard T. Redfearn, Acting 
Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Clearance 
Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of 
Management and Budget, (Project Nos. 3235-0060; 3235-0071; 3235-0417;
