VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:08 Jul 12, 2012 Jkt 226001 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 (the ‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Form 1–E (17 CFR 239.200) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’) is the form that a small business investment company (‘‘SBIC’’) or business development company (‘‘BDC’’) uses to notify the Commission that it is claiming an exemption under Regulation E from registering its securities under the Securities Act. Rule 605 of Regulation E (17 CFR 230.605) under the Securities Act requires an SBIC or BDC claiming such an exemption to file an offering circular with the Commission that must also be provided to persons to whom an offer is made. Form 1–E requires an issuer to provide the names and addresses of the issuer, its affiliates, directors, officers, and counsel; a description of events which would make the exemption unavailable; the jurisdictions in which the issuer intends to offer the securities; information about unregistered securities issued or sold by the issuer within one year before filing the notification on Form 1–E; information as to whether the issuer is presently offering or contemplating offering any other securities; and exhibits, including copies of the rule 605 offering circular and any underwriting contracts. The Commission uses the information provided in the notification on Form 1– E and the offering circular to determine whether an offering qualifies for the exemption under Regulation E. It is estimated that one issuer files approximately two notifications, together with attached offering circulars, on Form 1–E with the Commission annually. The Commission estimates that the total burden hours for preparing these notifications would be 200 hours in the aggregate. Estimates of the burden hours are made solely for the purposes of the PRA, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of SEC rules and forms. Compliance with the information collection requirements of the rules is necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on the rules.

3235-0232.

    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 (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 1-E (17 CFR 239.200) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (``Securities Act'') is the form that a small 
business investment company (``SBIC'') or business development company 
(``BDC'') uses to notify the Commission that it is claiming an 
exemption under Regulation E from registering its securities under the 
Securities Act. Rule 605 of Regulation E (17 CFR 230.605) under the 
Securities Act requires an SBIC or BDC claiming such an exemption to 
file an offering circular with the Commission that must also be 
provided to persons to whom an offer is made. Form 1-E requires an 
issuer to provide the names and addresses of the issuer, its 
affiliates, directors, officers, and counsel; a description of events 
which would make the exemption unavailable; the jurisdictions in which 
the issuer intends to offer the securities; information about 
unregistered securities issued or sold by the issuer within one year 
before filing the notification on Form 1-E; information as to whether 
the issuer is presently offering or contemplating offering any other 
securities; and exhibits, including copies of the rule 605 offering 
circular and any underwriting contracts.
    The Commission uses the information provided in the notification on 
Form 1-E and the offering circular to determine whether an offering 
qualifies for the exemption under Regulation E. It is estimated that 
one issuer files approximately two notifications, together with 
attached offering circulars, on Form 1-E with the Commission annually. 
The Commission estimates that the total burden hours for preparing 
these notifications would be 200 hours in the aggregate. Estimates of 
the burden hours are made solely for the purposes of the PRA, and are 
not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or 
study of the costs of SEC rules and forms.
    Compliance with the information collection requirements of the 
rules is necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on the rules. The 
information provided on Form 1-E and in the offering circular will not 
be kept confidential. 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 OMB control number.

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,
