    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

The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information 
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and 
approval.
    Rule 17a-2--Recordkeeping Requirements Relating to Stabilizing 
Activities--requires underwriters to maintain information regarding 
stabilizing activities conducted in accordance with Rule 104 of 
Regulation M. The collections of information under Regulation M and 
Rule 17a-2 are necessary for covered persons to obtain certain benefits 
or to comply with certain requirements. The collections of information 
are necessary to provide the Commission with information regarding 
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids. The Commission may 
review this information during periodic examinations or with respect to 
investigations. Except for the information required to be kept under 
Rule 104(i) (17 CFR 242.104(i)) and Rule 17a-2(c), none of the 
information required to be collected or disclosed for PRA purposes will 
be kept confidential. The recordkeeping requirement of Rule 17a-2 
requires the information be maintained in a separate file, or in a 
separately retrievable format, for a period of three years, the first 
two years in an easily accessible place, consistent with the 
requirements of Exchange Act Rule 17a-4(f) (17 CFR 240.17a-4(f)).
    There are approximately 805 respondents per year that require an 
aggregate total of 4,025 hours to comply with this rule. Each 
respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes 
approximately 5 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden 
per year is 4,025 burden hours. The total estimated internal compliance 
cost for the respondents is approximately $281,750, resulting in an 
internal cost of compliance for each respondent per response of 
approximately $350.00 (i.e., $281,750.00/805 responses).
    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 to 
be 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.
    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
