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: Form S-2, OMB Control No. 3235-0072, SEC File No. 270-
060.

    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 an extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Form S-2 (OMB Control No. 3235-0072; SEC File No. 270-060) is used 
by certain issuers to register securities under the Securities Act of 
1933. The Form S-2 provides investors with the necessary information to 
make investment decisions regarding securities offered to the public. 
The likely respondents will be public companies. The information 
collected must be filed with the Commission and is publicly available. 
Form S-2 takes approximately 470 burden hours to prepare and is filed 
by 101 respondents for a total of 47,470 burden hours. It is estimated 
that 25% of the 47,470 total burden hours (11,868 hours) is prepared by 
the company. The remaining 75% of burden hours is attributed to outside 
cost.
    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
