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 12g3-2, OMB Control No. 3235-0119, SEC File No. 270-104.

    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 12g3-2 (17 CFR 240.12g3-2) under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') provides an exemption from Section 12(g) 
of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78l(g)) for foreign private issuers. 
Rule 12g3-2 is designed to provide investors in foreign securities with 
information about such securities and the foreign issuer. The 
information filed under Rule 12g3-2 must be filed with the Commission 
and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes approximately one 
hour to provide the information required under Rule 12g3-2 and that the 
information is filed by 1,800 foreign issuers for a total annual 
reporting time burden of 1,800 hours.
    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, 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 email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: November 7, 2011.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
