SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0357]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Regulation S--Rules Governing
Offers and Sales Made Outside the United States Without Registration
Under the Securities Act of 1933
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.
Regulation S (17 CFR 230.901 through 230.905) sets forth rules
applicable to offers and sales of securities made outside the United
States without registration under the Securities Act of
[[Page 22562]]
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (``Securities Act''). Regulation S
addresses the extraterritorial application of the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The information required by
Regulation S is mandatory, and although the information required by
Regulation S is not publicly filed with the Commission, there are no
assurances of confidentiality provided with respect to such
information. We estimate that the information collections in Regulation
S, on average, take approximately 5 hours per response to comply with
and that there are approximately 1,103 foreign private issuers that
rely on Regulation S once per year, for a total of approximately 1,103
responses annually to the information collection requirements in
Regulation S. We estimate that 75% of the 5 hours per response is
carried internally by the respondent for annual reporting burden of
4,136 hours ((0.75 x 5 total hours per response) x 1,103 responses). We
estimate that 25% of the 5 hours per response is carried externally by
outside professionals retained by the respondent at an estimated rate
of $600 per hour for a total annual cost burden of $827,250 ((0.25 x 5
total hours per response) x $600 per hour x 1,103 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.
