SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 103; SEC File No. 270-410; OMB Control No. 3235-0466.

    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 (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
existing collection of information provided for in the following rule: 
Rule 103 of Regulation M (17 CFR 242.103).
    Rule 103 permits passive market-making in Nasdaq securities during 
a distribution. A distribution participant that seeks use of this 
exception would be required to disclose to third parties its intention 
to engage in passive market making.
    There are approximately 298 respondents per year that require an 
aggregate total of 298 hours to comply with this rule. Each respondent 
makes an estimated 1 response annually. Each response takes 
approximately 1 hour to complete. Thus, the total hourly burden per 
year is 298 hours. The total estimated internal labor cost for the 
respondents is approximately $19,966.00, resulting in an estimated 
internal labor cost per response of approximately $67.00 (i.e., 
$19,966.00/298 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. Background documentation for this 
information collection may be viewed at the following link, http://www.reginfo.gov.
    Comments should be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities 
and Exchange Commission, Office of
