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:
    Regulation C, OMB Control No. 3235-0074, SEC File No. 270-068. Form 
SB-1, OMB Control No. 3235-0423, SEC File No. 270-374.
    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 
request for extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    Regulation C provides standard instructions to guide persons when 
filing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933. The 
information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information 
available to investors in the registration of securities. The 
information provided is mandatory. Regulation C is assigned one burden 
hour for administrative convenience because the regulation simply 
prescribes the disclosure that must appear in other filings under the 
federal securities laws. Also, persons who respond to the collection 
information contained in Regulation C are not required to respond 
unless the forms display a currently valid control number.
    Small Business issuers use Form SB-1, as defined in Rule 405 of the 
Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'') to register up to $10 
million of securities to be sold for cash, if they have not registered 
more than $10 million in securities offerings in any continuous 12-
month period, including the transaction being registered. The 
information to be collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of 
information available to investors in the registration of securities 
and assures public availability. The information provided is mandatory. 
All information provided to the Commission is available to the

public for review. Approximately 17 respondents filed Form SB-1 during 
the last fiscal year at an estimated 177 hours per response for a total 
annual burden of 12,036 hours. It is estimated that 25% of the total 
burden (3,009 hours) is prepared by the company. Also, persons who 
respond to the collection information contained in Form SB-1 are not 
required to respond unless the form 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) 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: August 5, 2003.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
