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:
    Regulation 12B; OMB Control No. 3235-0062; SEC File No. 270-70.

    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.
    Regulation 12B (17 CFR 240.12b-1--12b-37) includes rules governing 
all registration statements pursuant to Sections 12(b) and 12(g) 
(U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act''), including all amendments to 
such statements and reports. The purpose of the regulation is to set 
forth guidelines for the uniform preparation of Exchange Act documents. 
Regulation 12B is assigned one burden hour for administrative 
convenience because the regulation simply prescribes the disclosure 
that must appear in other filings under the federal securities laws.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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, VA 22312; or 
send an e-mail to: [email protected].

    Dated: May 11, 2007.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
