SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

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


Requests Under Review by Office of Management and Budget

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission Office of Filings and Information Services 
Washington, DC 20549.

    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 extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    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 $57.68 per year, calculated as the costs of copying 
($12.36) plus storage ($45.32), resulting in a total cost of compliance 
for the respondents of $461.44.
    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 should 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 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, Associate 
Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: February 7, 2000.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
