SEC File No. 270-621.

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit an 
extension for this current collection of information to the Office of 
Management and Budget for approval.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission has developed an Electronic 
Data Collection System database (the Database) and invites comment on 
the Database that will support information provided by the general 
public that would like to file a tip or complaint with the SEC. The 
Database will be a web based e-filed dynamic report based on technology 
that pre-populates and establishes a series of questions based on the 
data that the individual enters. The individual will then complete 
specific information on the subject(s) and nature of the suspicious 
activity, using the data elements appropriate to the type of complaint 
or subject. The information collection is voluntary. The public 
interface to the Database will be available using the agency's Web site 
www.sec.gov. Information is voluntary.
    Estimated number of annual responses = 38,955.
    Estimated annual reporting burden = 19,478 hours (30 minutes per 
submission).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted 
in writing within 60 days of this publication. Please direct your 
written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information Officer, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F St. 
NE., Washington DC 20549; or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: April 2, 2014.
