Extension:
    Form 10-SB; OMB Control No. 3235-0419; SEC File No. 270-367.

    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

    Form 10-SB is used to register classes of securities of small 
business issuers pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 to provide material information necessary for

informed investment decisions. Every issuer subject to Sections 13(a) 
and 15(d) under the Exchange Act must file a periodic report with the 
Commission containing information about its business and financial 
condition. We estimate that Form 10-SB takes approximately 133 hours 
per response and is filed by 254 respondents. It is estimated that 25% 
of the 33,782 annual burden hours (8,446 burden hours) would be 
prepared by the company.
    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, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: October 7, 2005.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
