SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Form T-3, OMB Control No. 3235-0105, SEC File No. 270-123.

    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 approval.
    Form T-3 (17 CFR 269.3) is an application for qualification of an 
indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et 
seq.). The information provided by Form T-3 is used by the staff to 
decide whether to qualify an indenture relating to securities offered 
to the public in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form T-3 takes approximately 43 hours per 
response to prepare and is filed by 78 respondents. We estimate that 
25% of the 43 burden hours (11 hours per response) is prepared by the 
filer for a total reporting burden of 858 hours (11 hours per response 
x 78 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the 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 Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 
General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an e-mail to: 
[email protected].

    Dated: August 3, 2009.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
