SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 236; OMB Control No. 3235-0095; SEC File No. 270-118.

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 236 (17 CFR 230.236) under the Securities Act of 1933 
(``Securities Act'') (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires issuers relying 
on an exemption from the Securities Act registration requirements for 
the public offering of fractional shares, scrip certificates or order 
forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock 
split, conversion, merger or similar transaction, to furnish to the 
Commission specified information at least 10 days prior to the 
offering. The information is needed to provide public notice that an 
issuer is relying on the exemption. Public companies are the likely 
respondents. The information is needed to establish qualification for 
reliance on the exemption. The information provided by Rule 236 is 
required to obtain or retain benefits. All information provided to the 
Commission is available to the public for review upon request. 
Approximately 10 respondents file the information required by Rule 236 
at an estimated 1.5 hours per response for a total of 15 annual burden 
hours (1.5 hours per response x 10 responses).
    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 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
