SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Rule 163; OMB Control No. 3235-0619; SEC File No. 270-556]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request; Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC

Extension:
Rule 163, OMB Control No. 3235-0619, SEC File No. 270-556.
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
[[Page 6838]]
of information to the Office of Management and Budget for approval.
Rule 163 (17 CFR 230.163) provides an exemption from Section 5(c)
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) for certain
communications by or on behalf of a well-known seasoned issuer. The
information filed under Rule 163 is publicly available. We estimate
that it takes approximately 0.24 burden hours per response to provide
the information required under Rule 163 and that the information is
filed by approximately 53 respondents for a total annual reporting
burden of 13 hours. We estimate that 25% of 0.24 hours per response
(0.06 hours) is prepared by the respondent for a total annual burden of
3 hours (0.06 hours per response x 53 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the 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. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
Please direct your written comment to Thomas Bayer, Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or
send an e-mail to: [email protected].
Dated: February 1, 2011.
Cathy H. Ahn,
Deputy Secretary.
