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:
    Securities Rule 477; OMB Control No. 3235-0550, SEC File No. 270-
493.

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) sets forth procedures for withdrawing a 
registration statement, including any amendments or exhibits to the 
registration statement. The rule provides that if an issuer intends to 
rely on the safe harbor contained in Securities Act Rule 155 to conduct 
an unregistered private offering of securities, the issuer must 
affirmatively state in the withdrawal application that it plans to 
undertake a subsequent private offering of its securities. Without this 
statement, the Commission would not be able to monitor a company's 
reliance on, and compliance with, Securities Act Rule 155(c). All 
information submitted to the Commission under Securities Act Rule 477 
is available to the public for review. Information provided under 
Securities Act Rule 477 is mandatory. The information is required on 
occasion. We estimate that approximately 300 issuers will file 
Securities Act Rule 477 submissions annually at an estimated one hour 
per response for a total annual burden of approximately 300 hours. We 
estimate that 100% of the reporting burden is prepared by the issuer.
    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, 100 
F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: July 12, 2013.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
