SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 433

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 collections 
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 433 (17 CFR 230.433) governs the use and filing of free 
writing prospectuses with respect to the securities of an issuer that 
are the subject of a registration statement that has been filed under 
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). A free writing 
prospectus that satisfies the conditions pursuant to Rule 433 will be a 
prospectus under Section 10(b) of the Securities Act and will be deemed 
to be public without regard to its method of use or distribution. Rule 
433 is intended to facilitate issuer communications during a registered 
offering of securities after a registration statement has been filed 
with the Commission. We estimate that there are approximately 20,179 
free writing prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 433 annually, for a 
total of approximately 20,179 responses annually. We estimate that 
respondents incur approximately 2.45 burden hours per Rule 433 
response, for a total annual reporting burden of 49,439 hours (2.45 
hours per response x 20,179 responses). We estimate that respondents 
incur $380.03 cost burden per Rule 433 response, for a total annual 
cost of $7,668,625 ($380.03 cost per response x 20,179 responses).

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.
