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:
    Rule 155; OMB Control No. 3235-0549; SEC File No. 270-492.

    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 request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 155 (17 CFR 230.155) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) provides safe harbors for a registered offering 
following an abandoned private offering, or a private offering 
following an abandoned registered offering, without integrating the 
registered and private offerings in either case. Rule 155 requires any 
prospectus filed as a part of a registration statement after a private 
offering to include disclosure regarding abandonment of the private 
offering. Similarly, the rule requires an issuer to provide each 
offeree in a private offering following an abandoned registered 
offering with: (1) Information concerning withdrawal of the 
registration statement; (2) the fact that the private offering is 
unregistered; and (3) the legal implications of the

offering's unregistered status. The likely respondents will be 
companies. All information submitted to the Commission is available to 
the public for review. Companies only need to satisfy the Rule 155 
information requirements if they wish to take advantage of the rule's 
safe harbors. The Rule 155 information is required only on occasion. 
Rule 155 takes approximately 4 hours per response to prepare and is 
filed by 600 respondents. We estimate that 50% of the 4 hours per 
response (2 hours per response) is prepared by the filer for a total 
annual reporting burden of 1,200 hours (2 hours per response x 600 
responses).
    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.
