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:
    Interactive Data; SEC File No. 270-330, OMB Control No. 3235-
0645.

    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'') this request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    The ``Interactive Data'' collection of information requires issuers 
filing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) and reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) to submit specified financial information 
to the Commission and post it on their corporate Web sites, if any, in 
interactive data format using eXtensible Business Reporting Language 
(XBRL). This collection of information is located primarily in 
registration statement and report exhibit provisions, which require 
interactive data, and Rule 405 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.405), 
which specifies how to submit and post interactive data. The exhibit 
provisions are in Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 
229.601(b)(101)), Forms F-9 and F-10 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 
239.39 and 17 CFR 239.40) and Forms 20-F, 40-F and 6-K under the 
Exchange Act (17 CFR 249.220f, 17 CFR 249.240f and 17 CFR 249.306).
    In interactive data format, financial statement information could 
be downloaded directly into spreedsheets and analyzed in a variety of 
ways using commercial off-the-shelf software. The specified financial 
information already is and will continue to be required to be submitted 
to the Commission in traditional format under existing requirements. 
The purpose of the interactive data requirement is to make financial 
information easier for investors to analyze and assist issuers in 
automating regulatory filings and business information processing. We 
estimate that 10,229 respondents per year will each submit an average 
of 4.5 reponses per year for an estimated total of 46,031 responses. We 
further estimate an internal burden of 59 hours per response for a 
total annual internal burden of 2,715,829 hours (59 hours per response 
x 46,031 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 OMB 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: October 5, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
