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:
Regulation G; OMB Control No. 3235-0576; SEC File No. 270-518.

    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.
    Regulation G (17 CFR 244.100-244.102) under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) requires 
Exchange Act registrants that disclose or release financial information 
in a manner that is calculated or presented other than in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles (``GAAP'') to provide a 
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information to the most 
directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Regulation G implemented 
the requirements of Section 401 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 
U.S.C. 7261). We estimate that approximately 14,000 public companies 
must comply with Regulation G approximately six times a year for a 
total of 84,000 responses annually. We estimated that it takes 
approximately 0.5 hours per response (84,000 x 0.5 hours) for a total 
reporting burden of 42,000 hours annually.
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an email to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: January 23, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
