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:
    Rule 12d1-3, OMB Control No. 3235-0109, SEC File No. 270-116.

    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 extension and approval.
    Exchange Act Rule 12d1-3 (17 CFR 240.12d1-3) requires a 
certification that a security has been approved by an exchange for 
listing and registration pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 781(d)) to be filed with the 
Commission. The information required under Rule 12d1-3 must be filed 
with the Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it 
takes approximately one-half hour per response to provide the 
information required under Rule 12d1-3 and that the information is 
filed by

[[Page 70494]]

approximately 688 respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 
344 hours (0.5 hours per response x 688 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 comment to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or 
send an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: November 19, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
