SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.

Extension:
    Form 10-QSB; OMB Control No. 3235-0416; SEC File No. 270-369.

    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 this collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management Budget 
for approval.
    Form 10-QSB (17 CFR 249.308b) is a quarterly report form that is 
available to ``small business issuers'' as defined by regulations under 
the Securities Exchange Act 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et 
seq.), and is used by such issuers to satisfy their quarterly reporting 
obligations pursuant to Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange 
Act (15 U.S.C. 78m and 78o(d)). Form 10-QSB provides a comprehensive 
overview of the small business issuer's business, although its 
requirements call for slightly less detailed information than required 
by Form 10-Q (17 CFR 249.308a). Form 10-QSB takes approximately 182 
hours per response to prepare and is filed by 4,066 respondents three 
times a year for a total of 12,198 responses. We estimate that 75% of 
the 182 hours per response (136.5 hours) is prepared by the company for 
a total annual reporting burden of 1,665,027 hours (136.5 hours per 
response x 12,198 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper 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 comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Shirley Martinson 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send 
an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

     December 28, 2006.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
