    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 
the requests for extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    Form T-6 (OMB Control No. 3235-0391, SEC File No. 270-344) is a 
statement of eligibility and qualification for a foreign corporate 
trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Form T-6 provides the 
basis for determining if a trustee is qualified. Form T-6 is filed on 
occasion. The information collected must be filed with the Commission 
and is publicly available. Form T-6 takes approximately 17 burden hours 
to be prepared and is filed by 15 respondents. It is estimated that 25% 
of the 255 total burden hours (64 hours) is prepared by the filer. The 
remaining 75% of burden hours is prepared by outside counsel.
    Form 11-K (OMB Control No. 3235-0082; SEC File No. 270-101) is the 
annual report designed for use by employee stock purchase, savings and 
similar plans to facilitate their compliance with the reporting 
requirement. The Form 11-K is necessary to provide employees with 
information, including financial information, with respect to the 
investment vehicle or plan itself. Also, Form 11-K provides employees 
with the necessary information to assess the performance of the 
investment vehicle in which their money is invested. Form 11-K is filed 
on occasion. The information collected must be filed with the 
Commission and is publicly available. Form 11-K takes approximately 30 
burden hours to prepare and is filed by 2,300 respondents for a total 
of 69,000 burden hours.
    Form 144 (OMB 3235-0101; SEC File No. 270-112) is used to report 
the sale of securities during any three-month period that exceeds 500 
shares or other units or has an aggregate sales price in excess of 
$10,000. Form 144 operates in conjunction with Rule 144. If the 
information collection was not required, the objectives of the rule 
could not be met. The information collected must be filed with the 
Commission and is publicly available. Form 144 takes approximately 2 
burden hours to prepare and is filed by 18,096 respondents for a total 
of 36,192 total burden hours.
    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,
