Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC

Extension:
    Rule 236

    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 236 (17 CFR 230.236) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (``Securities Act'') provides an exemption from 
registration under the Securities Act for the offering of shares of 
stock or similar securities to provide funds to be distributed to 
security holders in lieu of fractional shares, scrip certificates or 
order forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse 
stock split, conversion, merger or similar transaction. Issuers wishing 
to rely upon the exemption are required to furnish specified 
information to the Commission at least 10 days prior to the offering. 
The information is needed to provide notice that the issuer is relying 
on the exemption. Public companies are the likely respondents. All 
information provided to the Commission is available to the public for 
review upon request. Approximately 10 respondents file the information 
required by Rule 236 at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total 
annual reporting burden of 15 hours (1.5 hours per response x 10 
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: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, 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: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: November 20, 2017.

Assistant Secretary.
