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 12h-1(f); OMB Control No. 3235-0632, SEC File No. 270-570.

    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 12h-1(f) (17 CFR 240.12h-1(f)) under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') provides an exemption from the Exchange 
Act Section 12(g) registration requirements

[[Page 63252]]

for compensatory employee stock options of issuers that are not 
required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act and that have 
500 or more option holders and more than $10 million in assets as of 
its most recently ended fiscal year. The information required under 
Exchange Act Rule 12h-1 is not filed with the Commission. Exchange Act 
Rule 12h-1(f) permits issuers to provide the required information to 
the option holders either by: (i) Physical or electronic delivery of 
the information; or (ii) written notice to the option holders of the 
availability of the information on a password-protected Internet site. 
We estimate that it takes approximately 2 burden hours per response to 
prepare and provide the information required under Rule 12h-1(f) and it 
is prepared and provided by approximately 40 respondents. We estimate 
that 25% of the 2 hours per response (0.5 hours) is prepared by the 
company for a total annual reporting burden of 20 hours (0.5 hours per 
response x 40 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, 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, 100 
F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: October 17, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
