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.
    Form 144 (17 CFR 239.144) is used to report the sale of securities 
during any three-month period that exceeds 5,000 shares or other units 
or has an aggregate sales price that does not exceed $50,000. Under 
Sections 2(11), 4(1), 4(2), 4(4) and 19(a) of the Securities Act of 
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77b, 77d (1) (2) (4) and 77s (a)) and Rule 144 (17 CFR 
230.144) thereunder, the Commission is authorize to solicit the 
information required to be supplied by Form 144. Form 144 takes 
approximately 1 burden hour per response and is filed by 23,361 
respondents for a total of 23,361 total 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 collections 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 OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments 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
