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 52--SEC File No. 270-81--OMB Control No. 3235-0369.

    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 (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved 
collections of information discussed below.
    Rule 52 permits public utility subsidiary companies of registered 
holding companies to issue and sell certain securities without filing a 
declaration if certain conditions are met. The Commission estimates 
that the total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden of collections 
under rule 52 is 133 hours (i.e., 133 responses x one hour = 133 burden 
hours).
    The estimates of average burden hours are made for the purposes of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or 
even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules 
and forms.
    There is no recordkeeping requirement for this information 
collection. It is mandatory that qualifying companies provide the 
information required by rule 52. There is no requirement to keep the 
information confidential because it is public information.
    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 e-mail to: [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 with 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: November 3, 2004.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
