SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-805, OMB Control No. 3235-0756]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 
147(f)(1)(iii) Written Representation as to Purchaser Residency

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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 147 is a safe harbor under the Securities Act Section 
3(a)(11)(15 U.S.C. 77c(a)(11)) exemption from registration. To qualify 
for the safe harbor, Rule 147(f)(1)(iii) (17 CFR 230.147) will require 
the issuer to obtain from the purchaser a written representation as to 
the purchaser's residency. Under Rule 147, the purchaser in the 
offering must be a resident of the same state or territory in which the 
issuer is a resident. While the formal representation of residency by 
itself is not sufficient to establish a reasonable belief that such 
purchasers are in-state residents, the representation requirement, 
together with the reasonable belief standard, may result in better 
compliance with the rule and maintaining appropriate investor 
protections. The representation of residency is not provided to the 
Commission. Approximately 700 respondents provide the information 
required by Rule 147(f)(1)(iii) at an estimated 2.75 hours per response 
for a total annual reporting burden of 1,925 hours (2.75 hours x 700 
responses).
    An agency may 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: <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 within 30 days of publication of this notice 
by July 7, 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,

    Dated: June 1, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
