SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0787]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Generic 
Clearance for Feedback to the SEC's Office of the Advocate for Small 
Business Capital Formation

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 submitted this existing 
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for 
extension and approval.
    The Commission's Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital 
Formation (``Office'' or ``OASB'') seeks to collect feedback from small 
businesses and their investors to understand better the population that 
it is serving and their role in the small business ecosystem. The 
proposed collection of information will help ensure that the Office's 
outreach efforts and communication materials and other program 
initiatives are effective and responsive to customer needs. More 
specifically, the Office will seek the following four categories of 
information: (i) Demographic information about program participants, 
(ii) feedback on the Office's outreach and educational materials, (iii) 
capital formation-related questions, and (iv) issues and challenges 
faced by small businesses and their investors. This feedback will allow 
the Office to tailor its outreach efforts and communication materials 
to serve its customers more effectively. Collecting feedback will also 
allow the Office to understand better its target audience and improve 
outreach events and educational materials by optimizing their content 
and delivery, while strategizing how best to deploy the Office's 
resources to address issues and challenges faced by its customers.
    Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful 
information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the 
overall population. This type of generic clearance for information will 
not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed 
to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over 
time or documenting program performance.
    These are the estimates for the next three years for the expected 
annual number of (i) activities: 30; (ii) respondents: 10,000; (iii) 
responses: 10,000; (iv) frequency of response: once per request; (v) 
average minutes per response: 5; and (vi) burden hours: 833.
    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 OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this 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.
    The public may view and comment on this information collection 
request at: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202501-3235-016">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202501-3235-016</a> or send an email comment to

Assistant Secretary.
