SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0618]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 173
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 collection 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 173 (17 CFR 230.173) provides a notice of registration to
investors who purchased securities in a registered offering under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Rule 173 is intended to
inform investors that they purchased securities in a registered
transaction to facilitate their ability to trace their purchases for
purposes of asserting their rights under the liability provisions of
the Federal securities laws. We estimate that responses to Rule 173 are
made by approximately 5,720 respondents approximately 43,546 times a
year for a total of 249,083,120 responses annually. We estimate that it
takes approximately 0.0167 burden hours per response and $0 cost burden
per response to provide the information required under Rule 173. As a
result, we
[[Page 57183]]
estimate that the total annual reporting burden for Rule 173 is
4,159,688 hours (0.0167 hours per response x 249,083,120 responses) and
that the total annual cost burden is $0.
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.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
