Extension:
Regulation FD, OMB Control No. 3235–
0536, SEC File No. 270–475.
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 this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Regulation FD (17 CFR 243.100 et
seq.)—Other Disclosure Materials
requires public disclosure of material
information from issuers of publicly
traded securities so that investors have
current information upon which to base
investment decisions. The purpose of
the regulation is to require: (1) An issuer
that intentionally discloses material
information, to do so through public
disclosure, not selective disclosure; and
(2) to make prompt public disclosure of
material information that was
unintentionally selectively disclosed.
We estimate that approximately 13,000
issuers make Regulation FD disclosures
approximately five times a year for a
total of 58,000 submissions annually,
not including an estimated 7,000 issuers
who file Form 8–K to comply with
Regulation FD. We estimate that it takes
5 hours per response (58,000 responses
× 5 hours) for a total burden of 290,000
hours annually. In addition, we estimate
that 25% of the 5 hours per response
(1.25 hours) is prepared by the filer for
an annual reporting burden of 72,500
hours (1.25 hours per response × 58,000
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has 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.

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

Form F–9, OMB Control No. 3235–0377,
SEC File No. 270–333.
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 this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management Budget for extension and
approval.
Form F–9 (17 CFR 239.39) is a
registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) that is used to register investment
grade debt or investment grade preferred
securities that are offered for cash or in
connection with an exchange offer and
are either non-convertible or not
convertible for a period of at least one
year from the date of issuance and
thereafter are only convertible into a
security of another class of the issuer.
The purpose of the information
collection is to permit verification of
compliance with securities law
requirements and to assure the public
availability and dissemination of such
information. The principal function of

the Commission’s forms and rules under
the securities laws’ disclosure
provisions is to make information
available to the investors. We estimate
that Form F–9 takes approximately 25
hours per response and it is filed by 18
respondents. We further estimate that
25% of the 25 hours per response (6.25
hours) is prepared by the issuer for an
annual reporting burden of 113 hours
(6.25 hours per response × 18
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
