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 5 SEC File No. 270-323, OMB Control No. 3235-0362.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) every person who is directly 
or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of any class 
of any equity security (other than an exempted security) which 
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or who is a 
director or an officer of the issuer of such security (collectively 
``reporting persons''), must file statements setting forth their 
security holdings in the issuer with the Commission. Form 5 (17 CFR 
249.105)

[[Page 68871]]

is an annual statement of beneficial ownership of securities. 
Approximately 4,600 reporting persons file Form 5 annually and we 
estimate that it takes approximately one hour to prepare the form for a 
total of 4,600 annual burden hours.
    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 under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comment to 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].

    Dated: November 8, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
