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:
    Form TH; OMB Control No. 3235-0425; SEC File No. 270-377.

    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 collections 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.
    Form TH is used by registrants to notify the Commission that an 
electronic filer is relying on the temporary hardship exemption for the 
filing of a document in paper format that would otherwise be required 
to be filed electronically as prescribed by Rule 201(a) of Regulation 
S-T. Form TH must be filed every time an electronic filer experiences 
unanticipated technical difficulties preventing the timely preparation 
and submission of a required electronic filing. Approximately 70 
registrants file Form TH and it takes an estimated .33 hours per 
response for a total annual burden of 23 hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
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 collection 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: December 15, 2005.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
