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 24b-1; SEC File No. 270-205; OMB Control No. 3235-0194.

    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 24b-1 (17 CFR 240.24b-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 requires a national securities exchange to keep and make available 
for public inspection a copy of its registration statement and exhibits 
filed with the Commission, along with any amendments thereto.
    There are eight national securities exchanges that spend 
approximately one half hour each complying with this rule, for an 
aggregate total compliance burden of four hours per year. The staff 
estimates that the average cost per respondent is $57.68 per year, 
calculated as the costs of copying ($12.36) plus storage ($45.32), 
resulting in a total cost of compliance for the respondents of $461.44.
    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 control number.
    Written comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to (i) the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Building, Washington, 
DC 20503, or by sending an email to: David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov; and 
(ii) R.
