SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-048, OMB Control No. 3235-0063]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Exchange Act 
Form 10-K

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    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 2,249.3666 hours per response to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 8,292 respondents. We estimate 
that 75% of the approximately hours per response (1,687.02495 hours) is 
prepared by the company for an annual reporting burden of 13,988,811 
hours (1,687.02495 hours per response x 8,292 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 by September 5, 2023.
    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 David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John 
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected].

    Dated: June 29, 2023.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
