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 A (Forms 1-A and 2-A), OMB Control No. 3235-
0286, SEC File No. 270-110.

    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 collection 
of information discussed below.
    Regulation A (OMB Control No. 3235-0286; SEC File No. 270-110) 
provides an exemption from registration under the Securities Act for 
certain limited securities offerings by issuers who do not otherwise 
file reports with the Commission. Form 1-A is an offering statement 
filed under Regulation A. Form 2-A is used to report sales and use of 
proceeds in Regulation A offerings. All information is provided to the 
public for review. The information required is filed on occasion and is 
mandatory. Approximately 165 issuers annually file Forms 1-A and 2-A. 
It is estimated that Form 1-A takes 608 hours to prepare, Form 2-A 
takes 12 hours to prepare and Regulation A takes one administrative 
hour to review for a total of 621 hours per response. The total burden 
hours are 102,465. It is estimated that 75% of the 102,465 total burden 
hours (76,849 burden hours) would be prepared by the company.
    An agency may 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: [email protected]; and (ii) R. Corey 
Booth, Director/Chief Information Officer, 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: September 13, 2004.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
