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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for approval of revisions to the following forms:
Form S-1 is used by issuers that are not eligible to use any of the
specialized forms to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933 (``Securities Act''). It is estimated that 1,084 forms would be
filed annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden of
1,373,428 hours.
Form S-2 is used by issuers that have been reporting companies for
three years and that have filed reports under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') for the last 12 months. It is estimated
that 101 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an estimated
annual total burden of 47,470 hours.
Form S-3 is used by issuers that have reported under the Exchange
Act for 12 months, making primary offerings of non-investment grade
securities, and generally have a public float of $75 million. It is
estimated that 2,162 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an
estimated annual total burden of 860,476 hours.
Form F-1 is used by foreign private issuers registering securities
under the Securities Act that are not eligible to use other forms. It
is estimated that 170 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an
estimated annual total burden of 317,560 hours.
Form F-2 is used by foreign private issuers that have filed
Exchange Act reports for 36 months or, in some instances, that have a
public float of at least $75 million. It is estimated that
approximately 5 respondents would file annually, resulting in an
estimated annual total burden of 2,795 hours.
Form F-3 is used by foreign private issuers that have been Exchange
Act reporting companies for 12 months (and have filed at least one
annual report on the appropriate form), and if making primary offerings
of non-investment grade securities, generally have a public float of at
least $75 million. It is estimated that 150 forms would be filed
annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden of 24,900
hours.

Form SB-1 is used by small business issuers registering up to $10
million under the Securities Act in a continuous 12 month period. It is
estimated that 16 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an
estimated annual total burden of 11,360 hours.
Form SB-2 is used by small business issuers registering securities
offerings under the Securities Act. It is estimated that 381 forms
would be filed annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden
of 333,756 hours.
Form 10-K is used by all issuers, other than small business
issuers, filing annual reports under the Exchange Act. It is estimated
that 6,073 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an estimated
annual total burden of 10,463,779 hours.
Form 10-Q is filed by all issuers reporting under the Exchange Act
filing quarterly reports that are not foreign private issuers or small
business issuers. It is estimated that 29,097 respondents would file
annually, resulting with a total annual burden of 4,189,968 hours.
Form 10-KSB is used by all small business issuers reporting under
the Exchange Act filing annual reports. It is estimated that 887 forms
would be filed annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden
of 1,045,760 hours.
Form 10-QSB is used by small business issuers reporting under the
Exchange Act filing quarterly reports. It is estimated that 5,280 forms
would be filed annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden
of 691,680 hours.
Form 10 is used by issuers registering under the Exchange Act that
are not foreign private issuers or small business issuers. It is
estimated that 85 forms would be filed annually, resulting in an
estimated annual total burden of 8,075 hours.
Form 10-SB is used by small business issuers to register under the
Exchange Act filing annual reports. It is estimated that 85 forms would
be filed annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden of
