SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension: Form S-3, SEC File No. 270-61, OMB Control No. 3235-0073.

    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-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is a short form registration statement 
used by domestic issuers to register a public offering of their 
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). 
Form S-3 takes approximately 472.49 hours per response and is filed by 
approximately 1,153 issuers annually. We estimate that 25% of the 
472.49 hours per response (118.12 hours) is prepared by the issuer for 
a total annual reporting burden of 136,192 hours (118.12 hours per 
response x 1,153 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.
