Submission for OMB Review; 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 SD, SEC File No. 270-647, OMB Control No. 3235-0697.

    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.
    Form SD (17 CFR 249b-400) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'') pursuant to Section 13(p)(15 
U.S.C. 78m(p)) of the Exchange Act is filed by issuers to provide 
disclosures regarding the source and chain of custody of certain 
minerals used in their products. The information provided is mandatory 
and all information is made available to the public upon request. We 
estimate that Form SD takes approximately 480.61 hours per response to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 864 issuers. We estimate that 75% 
of the 480.61 hours per response (360.46 hours) is prepared by the 
issuer internally for a total annual burden of 311,437 hours (360.46 
hours per response x 864 responses).
    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) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief

days of this notice.

    Dated: April 27, 2016.
