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:
    Rule 19d-3; SEC File No. 270-245; OMB Control No. 3235-0204.


    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.
    Rule 19d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 
``Exchange Act'') prescribes the form and content of applications to 
the Commission for review of final disciplinary sanctions, denials of 
membership, participation or association or prohibitions or limitations 
of access to services that are imposed by self-regulatory organizations 
(``SROs''). The Commission uses the information provided in the 
application filed pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken 
by SROs including: (1) Disciplinary sanctions; (2) denials of 
membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions on or 
limitations of access to SRO services.
    It is estimated that approximately 15 respondents will utilize this 
application procedure annually, with a total burden for all respondents 
of 270 hours, based upon past submissions. The staff estimates that the 
average number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of 
Rule 19d-3, to complete each submission, is 18 hours. The average cost 
per hour for completion of each submission is approximately $101. 
Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all respondents, per year 
is $27,270. (15 submissions x 18 hours x $101 per hour).
    A respondent is not required to retain the Rule 19d-3 submission 
for any specified period of time. The filing of a motion seeking review 
of a final action is mandatory only if the respondent wants Commission 
review. The submission does not involve the collection of confidential 
information. Please note that 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.
    General 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 or send an e-mail to: [email protected]; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, 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: June 1, 2004.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
