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: Form S-4; OMB Control No. 3235-0324; SEC File No. 270-
287.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Form S-4 (17 CFR 239.25) is the registration form used to register 
securities issued in business combination transactions under the 
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The information 
collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available 
to investors in connection with business combination transactions. Form 
S-4 is a public document and all information provided is mandatory. 
Form S-4 takes approximately 4,064 hours per response to prepare and is 
filed by 619 registrants annually. We estimate that 25% of the 4,064 
hours per response (1,016 hours) is prepared by the registrant for an 
annual reporting burden of 628,904 hours (1,016 hours per response x 
619 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) Lewis W. Walker, Acting Director/CIO, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General 
Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: July 22, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
