SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0324]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form S-4--Registration Statement
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 (SEC or ``Commission'') is submitting to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) this request for extension of the proposed
collection of information discussed below.
Form S-4 (17 CFR 239.25) is the form used for registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) of securities issued
in business combination transactions. The information collected is
intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors
in connection with business combination transactions. The information
required by Form S-4 is mandatory, and Form S-4 is publicly available
on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval
(``EDGAR'') system. We estimate that Form S-4 takes approximately
3,816.24 hours per response to prepare and is filed once per year by
approximately 228 issuers annually. We estimate that 25% of the
3,816.24 hours per response is carried internally by the issuer for an
annual reporting burden of approximately 217,526 hours (3,816.24 hours
per response x 25% x 228 responses annually). We estimate that 75% of
the 3,816.24 hours per response is carried externally by outside
professionals retained by the issuer at an estimated rate of $600 per
hour for a total annual cost burden of approximately $391,546,224
(3,816.244 hours per response x 75% x $600 per hour x 228 responses
annually).
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.
