SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-; SEC File No.--270-577]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

XBRL Voluntary Program Questionnaire

    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 the 
proposed collection of information, the XBRL Voluntary Program 
Questionnaire, to the Office of Management and Budget for approval.
    The XBRL Voluntary Program Questionnaire consists mainly of 
questions based on the respondent's experience with submitting 
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (``XBRL'') tagged data to the 
Commission on a voluntary basis as a supplemental exhibit to specified 
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 
seq.) and Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.).
    The Commission needs the information to learn about the voluntary 
program from the participant perspective. Responses to the 
questionnaire are voluntary and will be publicly available. The 
Commission plans to use the information to help it assess the 
feasibility and desirability of using tagged data on a more widespread 
and, possibly, mandated, basis in the future. In addition, the 
information may also be used by the Commission or its staff in 
connection with public analyses of the responses. The likely 
respondents to the questionnaire are the participants in the voluntary 
program.
    We estimate that 80 respondents will take 4 hours per response for 
a total reporting burden of 320 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 imposed by 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, C/O 
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; 
or send an e-mail to: [email protected].

    Dated: April 12, 2007.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
