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 10-K, SEC File No. 270-48, OMB Control No. 3235-0063

    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 10-K (17 CFR 249.310) is filed by issuers of securities to 
satisfy their annual reporting obligations under to Section 13 or 15(d) 
of the Exchange Act (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)). The 
information provided by Form 10-K is intended to ensure the adequacy of 
information available to investors and securities markets about an 
issuer. Form 10-K takes approximately 2003.7884 hours per response to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 8,137 respondents. We estimate 
that 75% of the approximately 2003.7884 hours per response (1,502.8413 
hours) is prepared by the company for an annual reporting burden of 
12,228,620 hours (1,502.8413 hours per response x 8,137 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 
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.
