The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Form 40–F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78l) or as an annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The information required in the Form 40–F is used by investors in making investment decisions with respect to the securities of such Canadian companies. We estimate that Form 40–F takes approximately 427 hours per response and is filed by approximately 160 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 427 hours per response (106.75 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total reporting burden of 17,080 (106.75 hours per response x 160 responses).

Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 require registered transfer agents to file an annual report of their business activities with the Commission. These reporting requirements are designed to ensure that all registered transfer agents are providing the Commission with sufficient information on an annual basis about the transfer agent community and to permit the Commission to effectively monitor business activities of transfer agents. The amount of time needed to comply with the requirements of amended Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 varies. Of the total 429 registered transfer agents, approximately 9.1% (or 39 registrants) would be required to complete only questions 1 through 3 and the signature section of amended Form TA–2, which the Commission estimates would take each registrant approximately 30 minutes, for a total burden of 19.5 hours (39 × .5 hours). Approximately 26.7% of registrants (or 115 registrants) would be required to answer questions 1 through 5, question 11 and the signature section, which the Commission estimates would take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, for a total of 172.5 hours (115 × 1.5 hours). Approximately 64.2% of the registrants (or 275 registrants) would be required to complete the entire Form TA–2, which the Commission estimates would take approximately 6 hours, for a total of 1,650 hours (275 × 6 hours). The aggregate annual burden on all 429 registered transfer agents is thus approximately 1,842 hours (19.5 hours + 172.5 hours + 1,650 hours) and the average annual burden per transfer agent is approximately 4.3 hours (1,842 ÷ 429).

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments on the existing collection of information provided for in Rule 15g–6—Account Statements for Penny Stock Customers—(17 CFR 240.15g–6) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Rule 15g–6 requires brokers and dealers that sell penny stocks to provide their customers monthly account statements containing information with regard to the penny stocks held in customer accounts. The purpose of the rule is to increase the level of disclosure to investors concerning penny stocks generally and specific penny stock transactions. The Commission estimates that approximately 221 broker-dealers will spend an average of 78 hours annually to comply with this rule. Thus, the total compliance burden is approximately 17,238 burden-hours per year.

    Rule 17Ac2-2 and Form TA-2; SEC File No. 270-298, OMB Control 
No. 3235-0337.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 17Ac2-2 (17 CFR 
240.17Ac2-2) and Form TA-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to 
submit this existing collection of information to the

Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 17Ac2-2 and Form TA-2 require registered transfer agents to 
file an annual report of their business activities with the Commission. 
These reporting requirements are designed to ensure that all registered 
transfer agents are providing the Commission with sufficient 
information on an annual basis about the transfer agent community and 
to permit the Commission to effectively monitor business activities of 
transfer agents.
    The amount of time needed to comply with the requirements of 
amended Rule 17Ac2-2 and Form TA-2 varies. Of the total 429 registered 
transfer agents, approximately 9.1% (or 39 registrants) would be 
required to complete only questions 1 through 3 and the signature 
section of amended Form TA-2, which the Commission estimates would take 
each registrant approximately 30 minutes, for a total burden of 19.5 
hours (39 x .5 hours). Approximately 26.7% of registrants (or 115 
registrants) would be required to answer questions 1 through 5, 
question 11 and the signature section, which the Commission estimates 
would take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, for a total of 172.5 
hours (115 x 1.5 hours). Approximately 64.2% of the registrants (or 275 
registrants) would be required to complete the entire Form TA-2, which 
the Commission estimates would take approximately 6 hours, for a total 
of 1,650 hours (275 x 6 hours). The aggregate annual burden on all 429 
registered transfer agents is thus approximately 1,842 hours (19.5 
hours + 172.5 hours + 1,650 hours) and the average annual burden per 
transfer agent is approximately 4.3 hours (1,842 / 429).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on 
respondents; 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.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549, or send an email
