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 8-K, OMB Control No. 3235-0060, SEC File No. 270-50.

    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 8-K (17 CFR 249.308) is filed by issuers to satisfy their 
current reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m and 78o(d)) in 
connection with the occurrence of significant corporate events. The 
purpose of Form 8-K is to provide investors with prompt disclosure of 
material information so that investors will be able to make investment 
and voting decisions better informed and receive information timely. 
Form 8-K takes approximately 5 hours per response and is filed by 
approximately 13,200 issuers approximately 8.21 annually for a total of 
108,424 responses annually. We estimate 75% of the 5 hours per response 
(3.75 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total annual reporting 
burden of 406,590 hours (3.75 hours per response x 108,424 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) Charles Boucher, 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: April 10, 2009.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
