SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-408, OMB Control No. 3235-0464]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 101

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 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 101 
of Regulation M (17 CFR 242.101), under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 101 prohibits distribution participants from purchasing 
activities at specified times during a distribution of securities. 
Persons otherwise covered by this rule may seek to use several 
applicable exceptions such as a calculation of the average daily 
trading volume of the securities in distribution, the maintenance of 
policies regarding information barriers between their affiliates, and 
the maintenance of a written policy regarding general compliance with 
Regulation M for de minimus transactions.
    There are approximately 2,002 respondents per year that require an 
aggregate total of approximately 27,901 hours to comply with this rule. 
Each respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response 
takes on average approximately 13.936563 hours to complete. Thus, the 
total hour burden per year is approximately 27,901 hours. The total 
estimated internal compliance cost for the respondents is approximately 
$2,259,981 resulting in an internal cost of compliance for each 
respondent per response of approximately $1,128.86 (i.e., $2,259,981/
2,002 responses).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. 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 by May 22, 2023 to (i) <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to:
