SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension: Rule 236, OMB Control No. 3235-0095, SEC File No. 270-
118.

    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 the request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 236 (17 CFR 230.236) under the Securities Act of 1933 
(``Securities Act'') (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires issuers choosing 
to rely on an exemption from Securities Act registration for the 
issuance of fractional shares, scrip certificates or order forms, in 
connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, 
conversion, merger or similar transaction, to furnish specified 
information to the Commission in writing at least 10 days prior to the 
offering. The information is needed to provide public notice that an 
issuer is relying on the exemption. Public companies are the likely 
respondents. The information is needed to establish qualification for 
reliance on the exemption. The information provided by Rule 236 is 
required to obtain or retain benefits. All information provided to the 
Commission is available to the public for review upon request. 
Approximately 10 respondents file the information required by Rule 236 
at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total of 15 annual burden 
hours (1.5 hours per response x 10 responses).
    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 send an e-mail to [email protected]; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson,

[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: June 30, 2008.
