Extension: Form 13F; SEC File No. 270–22; OMB Control No. 3235–0006. Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Section 13(f)1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 19342 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1) Adopt rules that create a reporting and disclosure system to collect specific information; and (2) disseminate such information to the public. Rule 13f-13 under the Exchange Act requires institutional investment managers that exercise investment discretion over accounts—having in the aggregate a fair market value of at least $100,000,000 of exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted equity securities—to file quarterly reports with the Commission on Form 13F. The information collection requirements apply to institutional investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold. Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an ‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as any person, other than a natural person, investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account of any other person. Form 13F under the Exchange Act defines ‘‘investment discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F reporting. The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central repository of historical and current data about the investment activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the body of factual data available to regulators and the public. The Commission staff estimates that 4,052 respondents make approximately 16,208 responses under the rule each year. The staff estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year to prepare and submit the report. In addition, the staff estimates that 210 respondents file approximately 840 amendments each year. The staff estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and submit amendments to Form 13F. The total annual burden of the rule’s requirements for all respondents therefore is estimated to be 401,178 hours ((4,052 filers x 98.8 hours) + (210 filers x 4 hours)). The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules. 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. Please direct general comments regarding the above information to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to Shagufta Ahmed at Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

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:
Form 13F; SEC File No. 270-22; OMB Control No. 3235-0006.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Section 13(f)\1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934\2\ (the 
``Exchange Act'') empowers the Commission to: (1) Adopt rules that 
create a reporting and disclosure system to collect specific 
information; and (2) disseminate such information to the public. Rule 
13f-1\3\ under the Exchange Act requires institutional investment 
managers that exercise investment discretion over accounts--having in 
the aggregate a fair market value of at least $100,000,000 of exchange-
traded or NASDAQ-quoted equity securities--to file quarterly reports 
with the Commission on Form 13F.

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.13f-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collection requirements apply to institutional 
investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold. 
Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an ``institutional 
investment manager'' as any person, other than a natural person, 
investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and 
any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account 
of any other person. Form 13F under the Exchange Act defines 
``investment discretion'' for purposes of Form 13F reporting.
    The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act 
is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central 
repository of historical and current data about the investment 
activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the 
body of factual data available to regulators and the public.
    The Commission staff estimates that 4,052 respondents make 
approximately 16,208 responses under the rule each year. The staff 
estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year to 
prepare and submit the report. In addition, the staff estimates that 
210 respondents file approximately 840 amendments each year. The staff 
estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 4 hours/year to 
prepare and submit amendments to Form 13F. The total annual burden of 
the rule's requirements for all respondents therefore is estimated to 
be 401,178 hours ((4,052 filers x 98.8 hours) + (210 filers x 4 
hours)).
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived 
from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the 
costs of Commission rules. 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.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to 
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to Shagufta 
Ahmed at Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, 
Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-
mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

     Dated: June 8, 2009.

Deputy Secretary.
