SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0063]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Exchange Act Form 10-K
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 (``PRA'') (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 also is
requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'')
to designate this existing collection of information (OMB Control No.
3235-0063) as a ``common form'' for purposes of PRA submissions \1\
because the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System uses this
information collection (under OMB Control No. 7100-0091). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
OMB for extension and approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See ROCIS PRA Module User Guide v.8.2, at 110-111 (Mar.
2024), available at <a href="https://www.rocis.gov/rocis/viewResources.do">https://www.rocis.gov/rocis/viewResources.do</a>
(``A `common form' is an information collection that can be used by
two or more agencies, or government-wide, for the same purpose. The
Common Forms Module [in ROCIS] allows a `host' agency to obtain
[OMB] approval of an information collection for use by one or more
`using' agencies. After OMB grants approval, any prospective using
agency that seeks to collect identical information for the same
purpose can obtain approval to use the `common form' by providing
its agency-specific information to OMB (e.g., burden estimates and
number of respondents). . . . The host agency will indicate in the
Federal Register notices that it is requesting approval of a common
form and, if known, identify other agencies that may use the
information collection. Both the Federal Register notices and the
ICR should account only for the burden imposed by the host agency's
use of the common form. Once the host agency has received approval
from OMB, any agency will be able to request OMB approval for its
use of the common form in ROCIS by providing its agency specific
information to OMB (e.g.,burden estimates and number of
respondents). Additional public notice by those agencies will not be
required.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form 10-K (17 CFR 249.310) is filed by issuers of securities to
satisfy their annual reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15
U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)). The information collected by Form 10-K is
intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors
and securities markets about an issuer. We estimate that Form 10-K is
filed once per year by approximately 6,740 respondents, for a total of
approximately 6,740 responses annually. We estimate that respondents
incur 1,695.2 burden hours per Form 10-K response, for a total annual
reporting burden of 11,425,648 hours (1,695.2 burden hours per response
x 6,740 responses). We estimate that respondents incur $334,438.81 cost
burden per Form 10-K response, for a total annual cost burden of
$2,254,117,579 ($334,438.81 cost burden per response x 6,740
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 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.

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to
