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:
    Regulations 13D and 13G; Schedules 13D and 13G; OMB Control No. 
3235-0145; SEC File No. 270-137.

    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 extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Schedules 13D and 13G are filed pursuant to sections 13(d) and 
13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') and 
Regulation 13D and 13G thereunder, to report beneficial ownership of 
equity securities registered under section 12 of the Exchange Act. 
Regulations 13D and 13G provide investors and the subject issuers with 
information about accumulations of securities that may have the 
potential to change or influence control of the issuer. Schedules 13D 
and Schedule 13G are used by persons, including small entities, to 
report their ownership of more than 5% of a class of equity securities 
registered under section 12. We estimate that it takes approximately 
43,500 total burden hours to prepare a Schedule 13D and that it is 
filed by approximately 3,000 respondents. The respondent prepares 25% 
of the 43,500 annual burden hours for a total reporting burden of 
10,875 hours. Schedule 13G takes approximately 98,800 total burden 
hours to prepare and is filed by an estimated 9,500 respondents. The 
respondent prepares 25% of the 98,800 annual burden hours for a total 
reporting burden of 24,700 hours.
    The information provided by respondents is mandatory. Schedule 13D 
or Schedule 13G is filed by a respondent only when necessary. All 
information provided to the Commission is public. However, Rules 0-6 
and 24b-2 under the Exchange Act permit reporting persons to request 
confidential treatment for certain sensitive information concerning 
national security, trade secrets, or privileged commercial or financial 
information.
    An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to 
David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549. Comments 
must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    October 10, 2005.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
