Extension:
    Form 11-K, SEC File No. 270-101, OMB Control No. 3235-0082

    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 11-K (17 CFR 249.311) is the annual report designed for use by 
employee stock purchase, savings and similar plans to comply with the 
reporting requirements under Section 15(d) of the Securities and 
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78o(d)). Section 
15(d) establishes a periodic reporting obligation for every issuer of a 
class of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 
``Securities Act'')(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form 11-K provides 
employees of an issuer with financial information so that they can 
assess the performance of the investment vehicle or stock plan. Form 
11-K takes approximately 30 burden hours per response and is filed by 
1,302 respondents for total of 39,060 burden hours (30 hours per 
response x 1,302 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.
    Please direct your written comment to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace 
Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected].

    Dated: July 3, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
