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 1-SA, SEC File No. 270-661, OMB Control No. 3235-0721.

    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 1-SA (17 CFR 239.92) is used to file semiannual reports by 
Tier 2 issuers under Regulation A, an exemption from registration under 
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2 issuers 
under Regulation A conducting offerings of up to $50 million within a 
12-month period are required to file Form 1-SA. Form 1-SA provides 
semiannual, interim financial statements and information about the 
issuer's liquidity, capital resources and operations after the issuer's 
second fiscal quarter. The purpose of the Form 1-SA is to better inform 
the public about companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under 
Regulation A. We estimate that approximately 36 issuers file Form 1-SA 
annually. We estimate that Form 1-SA takes approximately 187.43 hours 
to prepare. We estimate that 85% of the 187.43 hours per response 
(159.32 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual burden of 
5,736 hours (159.32 hours per response x 36 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 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.
    Please direct your written comments to Pamela Dyson, 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: April 23, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
