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
New:
    Tell Us How We're Doing! an Investor Questionnaire
    SEC File No. 270-406
    OMB Control No. 3235-new

    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 approval on the following questionnaire:
    The Commission has proposed use of a questionnaire, titled ``Tell 
Us How We're Doing! an Investor Questionnaire,'' to be sent to persons 
who have utilized the services of the Commission's Office of Investor 
Education and Assistance (``OIEA'').
    The questionnaire will be sent to each of the approximately 20,000 
persons who request assistance or information from OIEA. The 
questionnaire consists of eight questions concerning the quality of 
service provided by OIEA. Most questions can be answered by checking a 
box on the questionnaire.
    It is estimated that eight percent (8%) of the questionnaires, 
approximately 1,600, will be returned to OIEA, based on OIEA experience 
with similar types of questionnaires. It is also estimated that fifteen 
(15) minutes will be required to fill out a questionnaire, resulting in 
an aggregate burden of 400 hours.
    The retention period of the questionnaires will be three years. 
Provision of the information requested is voluntary and responses will 
be kept confidential.
    Members of the public should be aware that unless a currently valid 
Office of Management and Budget control number is displayed, an agency 
may not sponsor or conduct or require responses to an information 
collection.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission 
at the address below. Any comments concerning the accuracy of the 
estimated average burden hours should be directed to Michael E. 
Bartell, Associate Executive Director, Office of Information 
Technology, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20549 and Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, D.C. 20503.

    Dated: March 18, 1996.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
