    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 (``OMB'') requests for extension to the previously approved 
collections of information discussed below.
    Part 259.402 (17 CFR 259.402) under the Public Utility Holding 
Company Act of 1935, as amended (``Act''), 15 U.S.C. 79, et seq., 
requires that public utility holding companies that are exempt from 
regulation under the Act file an annual financial report on Form U-3A-
2.
    Rule 2 under the Act, which implements section 3 of the Act, 
requires the information collection prescribed by Form U-3A-2. The 
Commission estimates that the total annual reporting and recordkeeping 
burden of collections for Form U-3A-2 is 227.5 hours (91 responses x 
2.5 hours = 227.5 hours).
    Part 259.313 (17 CFR 259.313) under the Act generally mandates 
standardized accounting and record keeping for mutual and subsidiary 
service companies of registered holding companies and the filing of 
annual financial reports on Form U-13-60.
    Rules 93 and 94 under the Act, which implement Section 13 of the 
Act, requires the information collection prescribed by Form U-13-60. 
The Commission estimates that the total annual reporting and 
recordkeeping burden of collections for Form U-13-60 is 877.5 hours (65 
responses x 13.5 hours = 877.5 hours).
    The estimate of average burden hours are made for purposes of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or 
representative survey or study of the costs of complying with the 
requirements of Commission rules and forms.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to 
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 
20503; and (ii) Kenneth A. Fogash, Acting Associate Executive Director/
CIO, 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: April 14, 2003.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
