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 103, SEC File No. 270-410, OMB Control No. 3235-
0466.

    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 103 permits passive market-making in Nasdaq securities during 
a distribution. A distribution participant that seeks use of this 
exception would be required to disclose to third parties its intention 
to engage in passive market making. The Commission estimates that 171 
respondents collect information under Rule 103 and that approximately 
171 hours in the aggregate are required annually for these collections.
    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, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC, 20503, or by sending an 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 within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: June 7, 2005.
