SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington,
DC 20549
Extension:
Rule 236--SEC File No. 270-118, OMB Control No. 3235-0095
Reg. B--SEC File No. 270-102, OMB Control No. 3235-0093
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 requests for approval of extension on the following:
Rule 236 that requires issuers wishing to rely upon an exemption
from registration from the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'')
for the issuance of fractional shares, script certificates or order
forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, conversion, merger or similar transaction to furnish specified
information to the Commission in writing at least ten days prior to the
offering. The information is needed to provide notice that an issuer is
relying on the exemption. Public companies are the likely respondents.
An estimated ten submissions are made pursuant to Rule 236 annually,
resulting in an estimated annual total burden of 15 hours.
Regulation B provides exemptions from the Securities Act relating
to fractional undivided interests in oil or gas rights. Persons
offering securities under this exemption, as conditions to the
exemption, are still required to file basic prescribed documents with
the Commission containing certain material information and to provide
prospective investors with this information with respect to such
securities. A report on Form 1-G must be filed with the Commission on
or before the 15th day after the expiration of each effective offering
sheet pursuant to Regulation B, or the termination of sales, whichever
comes first. Not later than three calendar months after the termination
of the offering, the offeror must file with the Commission and send to
purchasers of interests a report on Form 3-G. An estimated 5
submissions are made pursuant to Regulation B annually, resulting in an
estimated total annual reporting burden of 205 hours.
General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be
directed to the Desk Officer for the
[[Page 11438]]
Securities and Exchange Commission at the address below. Any comments
concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours for
compliance with Commission rules and forms should be directed to
Michael E. Bartell, Associate Executive Director, Office of Information
Technology, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20549 and Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building,
