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:
    Securities Act Rule 477; OMB Control No. 3235-0550; SEC File No. 
270-493.

    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 this

[[Page 39292]]

request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) sets forth procedures for withdrawing a 
registration statement, an amendment to a registration statement, or 
any exhibits thereto. The rule provides that if a registrant intends to 
rely on the registered-to-private safe harbor contained in Securities 
Act Rule 155, the registrant must affirmatively state in the withdrawal 
application that it plans to undertake a subsequent private offering of 
its securities. Without this statement, the Commission would not be 
able to monitor a company's reliance on, and compliance with, 
Securities Act Rule 155(c). The likely respondents will be companies. 
All information submitted to the Commission under Securities Act Rule 
477 is available to the public for review. Information provided under 
Securities Act Rule 477 is mandatory. The information is required on 
occasion. We estimate that approximately 300 issuers will file 
Securities Act Rule 477 submissions annually at an estimated one hour 
per response for a total annual burden of approximately 300 hours. We 
estimate that 100 percent of the reporting burden is prepared by the 
issuer.
    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: June 30, 2010.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
