SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


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:
    Rule 155, SEC File No. 270-492, OMB Control No. 3235-0549.

    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.
    Rule 155 (17 CFR 230.155) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) provides safe harbors for a registered offering of 
securities following an abandoned private offering, or a private 
offering following an abandoned a registered offering, without 
integrating the registered and private offerings in either case. In 
connection with registered offering following an abandoned private 
offering, Rule 155 requires an issuer to include in any prospectus 
filed as a part of a registration statement disclosure regarding the 
abandoned private offering. Similarly, the rule requires an issuer to 
provide each offeree in a private offering following an abandoned 
registered offering with: (1) Information concerning the withdrawal of 
the registration statement; (2) the fact that the private offering is 
unregistered; and (3) the legal implications of the offering's 
unregistered status. All information submitted to the Commission is 
available to the public for review. Companies only need to satisfy the 
Rule 155 information requirements if they wish to take advantage of the 
rule's safe harbors. The Rule 155 information is required only on 
occasion. We estimate Rule 155 takes approximately 4 hours per response 
to prepare and is filed by 600 respondents annually. We estimate that 
50% of the 4 hours per response (2 hours per response) is prepared by 
the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 1,200 hours (2 hours 
per response x 600 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 website, 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) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email 
to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: November 8, 2019.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
