    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'') is publishing the following summaries of 
collections for public comment.
    Form T-1 is a statement of eligibility under the Trust Indenture 
Act of 1939 (``TIA'') of a corporation designated to act as a trustee. 
It is filed by an estimated 500 respondents for a total estimated 
annual burden of 7,500 hours.
    Form T-2 is a statement of eligibility under the TIA of an 
individual designated to act as a trustee. It is filed by an estimated 
36 respondents for a total estimated annual burden of 324 hours.
    Form T-3 is used for applications for the qualification of trust 
indentures. It is filed by an estimated 55 respondents for a total 
estimated annual burden of 2,365 hours.
    Form T-4 is used to apply for exemption pursuant to Section 304(c) 
of the TIA. It is filed by an estimated 3 respondents for a total 
estimated annual burden of 15 hours.
    Form T-6 is used to apply under Section 310(a)(1) of the TIA for 
determination of eligibility of a foreign person to act as 
institutional trustee. It is filed by an estimated 15 respondents for a 
total estimated annual burden of 255 hours.
    TIA Rules 7a-15 through j7a-37 set forth general requirements as to 
the form and content of applications, statements and reports required 
to be made under the TIA. The burden hours resulting from these 
requirements are reflected in the FIA forms and Rules 7a-15 through 7a-
37 therefore are collectively assigned only one burden hour for 
administrative convenience.
    Form SR is used to report sales of securities and use of proceeds 
therefrom. The Commission has proposed that this form be eliminated. 
Form SR is filed by an estimated 2,566 respondents for a total 
estimated annual burden of 14,113 hours.
    Form 11-K is an annual report of certain types of employee benefit 
plans. It is filed by an estimated 774 respondents for a total 
estimated annual burden of 23,220 hours.
    Rule 14f-1 requires issuers to file information in connection with 
a change in the majority of their directors. Rule 14f-1 submissions are 
filed by an estimated 44 respondents for a total estimated annual 
burden of 792 hours.
    Rule 12d1-3 sets forth requirements concerning certification that a 
security has been approved by an exchange for listing and registration 
pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 
12d1-3 submissions are filed by an estimated 688 respondents for a 
total estimated annual burden of 344 hours.
    The information provided by the above forms and submissions is 
needed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the TIA, 
Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Trustees 
and corporate issuers are the likely respondents.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. 
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in 
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    Direct your written comments to Michael E. Bartell, Associate 
Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: November 22, 1996.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
