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

Extension:
    Rule 24b-1
    SEC File No. 270-205
    OMB Control No. 3235-0194

    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 requests for approval of extension on the following rule:
    Rule 24b-1 (17 CFR 240.24b-1) requires a national securities 
exchange to keep and make available for public inspection a copy of its 
registration statement and exhibits filed with the Commission, along 
with any amendments thereto.
    There are eight national securities exchanges that spend 
approximately one half hour each complying with this rule, for an 
aggregate total compliance burden of four hours per year. The staff 
estimates that the average cost per respondent is $63 per year, 
calculated as one half hour of clerical time ($7) plus copying ($12) 
plus storage ($44), resulting in a total cost of compliance for the 
respondents of $504.
    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 for compliance with Commission rules and 
forms 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: January 13, 1997.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
