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 S-8; OMB Control No. 3235-0066, SEC File No. 270-66

    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.
    Form S-8 (17 CFR 239.16b) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) is the primary registration statement used by 
eligible registrants to register securities to be issued in connection 
with an employee benefit plan. We estimate that Form S-8 takes 
approximately 24 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 2,200 respondents. In addition, we estimate that 50% of 
the preparation time (12 hours) is completed in-house by the filer for 
a total annual reporting burden of 26,400 (12 hours per response x 
2,200 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper 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.
    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.
    Please direct your written comments 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: April 24, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
