[[Page 42140]]

and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the 
collections of information summarized below. The Commission plans to 
submit these existing collections of information to the Office of 
Management Budget for extension and approval.
    Form T-6 (17 CFR 269.9) is a statement of eligibility and 
qualification for a foreign corporate trustee under the Trust Indenture 
Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.). Form T-6 provides the basis for 
determining if a trustee is qualified. Form T-6 takes approximately 17 
burden hours per response and is filed by 1 respondent. We estimate 
that 25% of the 17 total burden hours (4 hours) is prepared by the 
filer. The remaining 75% of burden hours is prepared by outside 
counsel.
    Form 11-K (17 CFR 249.311) is the annual report designed for use by 
employee stock purchase, savings and similar plans. Form 11-K provides 
employees with financial information so that they can assess the 
performance of the investment vehicle in which their money is invested. 
Form 11-K takes approximately 30 burden hours per response and is filed 
by 2,000 respondents for total of 60,000 burden hours.
    Form 144 (17 CFR 239.144) is used to report the sale of securities 
during any three-month period that exceeds 500 shares or other units or 
has an aggregate sales price in excess of $10,000. Form 144 operates in 
conjunction with Rule 144. Form 144 takes approximately 2 burden hours 
per response and is filed by 60,500 respondents for a total of 121,000 
total burden hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether these proposed 
collections of information are 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 imposed by 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 collections 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, C/O 
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312,
