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 this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Form TH (17 CFR 239.65, 249.447,
269.10 and 274.404) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.), the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.), the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa

an electronic filer experiences
unanticipated technical difficulties
preventing the timely preparation and
submission of a required electronic
filing. Approximately 70 registrants file
Form TH and it takes an estimated 0.33
hours per response for a total annual
burden of 23 hours.

of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to

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.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,
