SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Regulation G; OMB Control No. 3235-0576; SEC File No. 270-518.

    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.
    Regulation G (17 CFR 244.100--244.102) under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) 
requires registrants that publicly disclose material information that 
includes a non-GAAP financial measure to provide a reconciliation to 
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Regulation G 
implemented the requirements of Section 401 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 
of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7261; 78m). The information provided under 
Regulation G is mandatory and is available to the public. We estimate 
that approximately 14,000 public companies must comply with Regulation 
G approximately six times a year for a total of 84,000 responses 
annually. We estimated that it takes approximately .5 hours per 
response (84,000 x .5 hours) for a total reporting burden of 42,000 
hours annually.
    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 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 Shagufta_
Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, 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. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: December 29, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
