SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549,

Extension: Regulation S-X, OMB Control No. 3235-0009, SEC File No. 
270-3

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Regulation S-X sets forth the form and content of, and requirements 
for, financial statements required to be filed as a part of 
registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, registration 
statements filed under section 12, annual or other reports filed under 
section 13 and 15(d) and proxy and information statements filed under 
section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, registration 
statements and annual reports filed under the Public Utility Holding 
Company Act of 1935 and registration statements and shareholder reports 
filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Regulation S-X is 
assigned one burden hour for administrative convenience because it 
simply prescribes the disclosure that must appear in other filings 
under the federal securities laws.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
collections of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and 
suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, Securities 
and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: January 26, 2005.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
