Extension:
    Rule 236

    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 236 (17 CFR 230.236) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (``Securities Act'') provides an exemption from 
registration under the Securities Act for the offering of shares of 
stock or similar securities to provide funds to be distributed to 
security holders in lieu of fractional shares, scrip certificates or 
order forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse 
stock split, conversion, merger or similar transaction. Issuers wishing 
to rely upon the exemption are required to furnish specified 
information to the Commission at least 10 days prior to the offering. 
The information is needed to provide notice that the issuer is relying 
on the exemption. Public companies are the likely respondents. All 
information provided to the Commission is available to the public for 
review upon request. Approximately 10 respondents file the information 
required by Rule 236 at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total 
annual reporting burden of 15 hours (1.5 hours per response x 10 
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 background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by

    Dated: February 22, 2021.
