Form S-3, OMB Control No. 3235-0073, SEC File No. 270-61.

                    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”) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget requests for extension of the previously approved collections of information discussed below.                

                    Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is used by issuers to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a*et seq.*). Form S-3 provides investors with material information to make investment decisions regarding securities offered to the public. Form S-3 takes approximately 459 hours per response and is filed by approximately 2,065 issuers annually. We estimate that 25% of the 459 hours per response (114.75 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 236,959 hours (114.75 hours per response × 2.065 responses).                

An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

                    The public may view the background documentation for this information collection at the following Web site,                     *http://www.reginfo.gov.*                     Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an e-mail to:                     *Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov;*                     and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail to:                     *PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.*                     Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.
