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 15c2-8, SEC File No. 270-421, OMB Control No. 3235-0481.

    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 (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
 Rule 15c2-8 Delivery of Prospectus
    Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires 
broker-dealers to deliver preliminary or final prospectuses to 
specified persons in association with securities offerings. This 
requirement ensures that information concerning issuers flows to 
purchasers of the issuers' securities in a timely fashion. It is 
estimated that there are approximately 8,000 broker-dealers, any of 
which potentially may participate in an offering subject to Rule 15c2-
8. The Commission estimates that Rule 15c2-8 creates approximately 
10,600 burden hours with respect to 120 initial public offerings and 
460 other offerings. Please note that 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, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send 
an e-mail to: [email protected].
