SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Summission 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 29, File No. 270-169, OMB Control No. 3235-0149
    Rule 83, File No. 270-82, OMB Control No. 3235-0181

    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 extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 29 [17 CFR 250.29] states that ``[a] copy of each annual 
report submitted by an registered holding company or any subsidiary 
thereof to a State Commission covering operations not reported to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall be filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission no later than ten days after such submission.'' 
The Commission receives about 62 annual reports per year under this 
regulation, which imposes an annual burden of about 15.5 hours.
    Rule 83 [17 CFR 250.83] authorizes an exemption from the ``at 
cost'' requirements of Section 13(b) for ``the performance of any 
service, sales, or construction contract for any associate company 
which does not derive, directly or indirectly, any material part of its 
income from sources within the United States and which is not a public 
utility company operating within the United States * * *.'' The 
Commission receives about one application per year under Rule 83, which 
imposes an annual burden of about three hours.
    The estimates of average burden hours are made for the purposes of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or 
even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules 
and forms.
    It should be noted that ``an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number.''
    Written comments regarding the above information shall be directed 
to the following persons: (i) 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; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, 
Associate Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20549. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this 
notice.

    Dated: November 13, 1997.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
