    Regulation D and Form D; OMB Control No. 3235-0076; SEC File No. 
270-72

    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 
collection of information discussed below.
    Form D sets forth rules governing the limited offer and sale of 
securities without Securities Act registration. Those relying on 
Regulation D must file Form D. The purpose of the Form D notice is to 
collect empirical data, which provides a continuing basis for action by 
the Commission either in terms of amending existing rules and 
regulations or proposing new ones. In addition, the form allows the 
Commission to elicit information necessary in assessing the 
effectiveness of Regulation D and Section 4(6) as capital-raising 
devices for all businesses. Form D information is required to obtain or 
retain benefits under Regulation D. Approximately 13,518 issuers file 
Form D and it takes approximately 16 hours to prepare. It is estimated 
that 90% of the 216,288 burden hours (194,659 hours) is prepared by the 
company. Finally, persons who respond to the collection of information 
contained in Form D are not required to respond unless the collection 
of information 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: March 25, 2002.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
