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:
    Rule 19d-2; SEC File No. 270-204; OMB Control No. 3235-0205.

    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.
    Rule 19d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') 
prescribes the form and content of applications to the Commission by 
persons desiring stays of final disciplinary sanctions and summary 
action of self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') for which the 
Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency.
    It is estimated that approximately 30 respondents will utilize this 
application procedure annually, with a total burden of 90 hours, based 
upon past submissions. The staff estimates that the average number of 
hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-2 is 3 
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, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: January 31, 2006.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.
