SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0547]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Investor Form
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.
Each year the Commission receives several thousand contacts from
investors who have complaints or questions on a wide range of
investment-related issues. To make it easier for the public to contact
the agency electronically, the Commission's Office of Investor
Education and Assistance (``OIEA'') created an electronic form (the
Investor Form at <a href="https://help.sec.gov/s/">https://help.sec.gov/s/</a>) that provides drop down
options to choose from in order to categorize the investor's complaint
or question, and may also provide the investor with automated
information about their issue. The Investor Form asks investors to
provide information concerning, among other things, their names, how
they can be reached, the names of the individuals or entities involved,
the nature of their complaint or tip, what documents they can provide,
and what, if any, actions they have taken. Use of the Investor Form is
voluntary. Absent the forms, the public still has several ways to
contact the agency, including telephone, facsimile, letters, and email.
Investors can access the Investor Form through the consolidated
Investor Complaint and Question web page (<a href="https://help.sec.gov/s/">https://help.sec.gov/s/</a>).
OIEA receives approximately 13,000 contacts each year through the
Investor Form. Investors who choose not to use the Investor Form
receive the same level of service as those who do. The dual purpose of
the form is to make it easier for the public to contact the agency with
complaints, questions, tips, or other feedback and to further
streamline the workflow of Commission staff that record, process, and
respond to investor contacts.
The Commission uses the information that investors supply on the
Investor Form to review and process the contact (which may, in turn,
involve responding to questions, processing complaints, or, as
appropriate, initiating enforcement investigations), to maintain a
record of contacts, to track the volume of investor complaints, and to
analyze trends. Use of the Investor Form is voluntary. The Investor
Form asks investors to provide information concerning, among other
things, their names, how they can be reached, the names of the
individuals or entities involved, the nature of their complaint or tip,
what documents they can provide, and what, if any, actions they have
taken.
The staff of the Commission estimates that the total reporting
burden for using the Investor Form is 3,250 hours. The calculation of
this estimate depends on the number of investors who use the forms each
year and the estimated time it takes to complete the forms: 13,000
respondents x 15 minutes = 3,250 burden hours.
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.
