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 163; OMB Control No. 3235-0619; SEC File No. 270-556.

    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 163 (17 CFR 230.163) provides an exemption from Section 5(c) 
(15 U.S.C. 77e(c)) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) for certain communications by or on behalf of a well-known 
seasoned issuer. The information filed under Rule 163 is publicly 
available. We estimate that it takes approximately 0.24 burden hours 
per response to provide the information required under Rule 163 and 
that the information is filed by approximately 53 respondents for a 
total annual reporting burden of approximately 13 hours. We estimate 
that 25% of 0.24 hours per response (0.06 hours) is prepared by the 
respondent for a total annual burden of approximately 3 hours (0.06 
hours per response x 53 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an e-
mail to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 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: April 8, 2011.
Cathy H. Ahn,
Deputy Secretary.
