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 102, SEC File No. 270-409, OMB Control No. 3235-
0467.

    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 102 prohibits distribution participants, issuers, and selling 
security holders from purchasing activities at specified times during a 
distribution of securities. Persons otherwise covered by these rules 
may seek to use several applicable exceptions such as a calculation of 
the average daily trading volume of the securities in distribution, the 
maintenance of policies regarding information barriers between their 
affiliates, and the maintenance a written policy regarding general 
compliance with Regulation M for de minimus transactions. The 
Commission estimates that 669 respondents collect information under 
Rule 102 and that approximately 1,569 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. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: June 6, 2005.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
