SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0056]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 8-A
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.
Form 8-A (17 CFR 249.208a) is a registration statement used to
register a class of securities under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g))
(``Exchange Act''). Section 12(a) (15 U.S.C. 78l(a)) of the Exchange
Act makes it unlawful for any member, broker, or dealer to effect any
transaction in any security (other than an exempted security) on a
national securities exchange unless such security has been registered
under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Exchange Act Section
12(b) establishes the registration procedures. Exchange Act Section
12(g) requires an issuer that is not a bank or bank holding company to
register a class of equity securities (other than exempted securities)
within 120 days after its fiscal year end if, on the last day of its
fiscal year, the issuer has total assets of more than $10 million and
the class of equity securities is ``held of record'' by either (i)
2,000 persons, or (ii) 500 persons who are not accredited investors. An
issuer that is a bank or a bank holding company, must register a class
of equity securities (other than exempted securities) within 120 days
after the last day of its first fiscal year ended after the effective
date of the JOBS Act if, on the last day of its fiscal year, the issuer
has total assets of more than $10 million and the class of equity
securities is ``held of record'' by 2,000 or more persons. Form 8-A is
the special form for the registration of additional classes or series
of securities by an issuer that is required to file reports pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Form 8-A does not require as
detailed disclosure as Form 10 concerning the issuer's business because
the use of Form 8-A by an issuer presupposes that more detailed
information is or will be available through periodic reports pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d). The form requires disclosure of information
concerning the particular class of securities being registered (such as
dividend and voting rights in connection with common stock). This
information may be provided by incorporation by reference to a
comparable description contained in any other filing with the
Commission. The information required on Form 8-A is mandatory. Form 8-A
is publicly available on EDGAR. We estimate that Form 8-A takes
approximately 3 hours per response and that there is an average of
approximately 1,052 responses annually. We estimate that 100% of the 3
hours per response is prepared by the issuer for an internal burden of
3,156 hours (3 hours per response x 1,052 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 OMB Control Number.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated,
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
The public may view and comment on this information collection
