The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 95).

The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is proposing amendments to Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''). We are proposing two approaches to restrictions on short sellingone is a price test that would apply on a market wide and permanent basis (``short sale price test'' or ``short sale price test restriction'') and one that would apply only to a particular security during severe market declines in that security (``circuit breaker''). With respect to the first approach, we propose two alternative short sale price tests: One based on the national best bid and the second based on the last sale price. With respect to the second approach, we propose two basic alternatives: One alternative is a circuit breaker rule that would temporarily prohibit short selling in a particular security when there is a severe decline in the price of that security (a ``halt''), which could operate in place of, or in addition to, a short sale price test rule; and the second alternative is a circuit breaker rule that would trigger a short sale price test rule; we propose that such a short sale price test either be based on the national best bid for any security for which there has been a severe price decline or be based on the last sale price for any security for which there has been a severe price decline.
