COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of Filings and

Information Services, Washington, DC

20549.

Request for Approval:

Online Investor Behavior Survey; OMB

Control No. 3235–new.

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’’) is soliciting comments

on the collection of information

summarized below. The Commission

plans to submit this collection of

information to the Office of

Management and Budget for approval.

Commissioner Laura S. Unger plans to

conduct an online investor behavior

survey. The survey would be voluntary

in nature. It would be distributed to

approximately 10,000 investors by

brokerage firm members of the

Securities Industry Association. Each

respondent would spend approximately

15 minutes completing the survey for an

estimated annual total burden of 2,500

hours. The survey would enable the

Commission to learn more about the

habits and education needs of online

investors, and differences between

online and paper-based investors. The

survey would help the Commission

determine how to improve its investor

protection and education initiatives

with respect to online investors.

Written comments are invited on: (a)

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden of the collection of

information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarify of the

information 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.

Please direct your written comments

to Michael E. Bartell, Associate

Executive Director, Office of

Information Technology, Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549.
