SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0550]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Securities Act Rule 477
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.
Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) sets forth procedures for withdrawing a
registration statement, including any amendments or exhibits to the
registration statement. The rule provides that a registrant must sign
any application for withdrawal and must state fully in it the grounds
on which the registrant makes the application. The rule further
provides that the registrant must state in the application that no
securities were sold in connection with the offering. Rule 477's
information collection requirements help to ensure that the Commission
has sufficient information regarding a registrant's application to
withdraw a registration statement to determine whether to grant such
application (based on whether such withdrawal is consistent with the
public interest and the protection of investors). We estimate that
approximately 548 registrants file a withdrawal application under Rule
477, once per year each, for a total estimate of 548 responses
annually. We estimate that Rule 477 requires one burden hour per
response for a total annual burden of approximately 548 hours. We
estimate that registrants carry 100% of
[[Page 3935]]
the burdens associated with Rule 477 internally and, therefore, that
there is no cost burden associated with Rule 477.
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 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.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
