OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request; Review of a

Revised Information Collection;

Optional Form 306

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Optional Form 306

(Declaration for Federal Employment) is

used by OPM and other agencies to

collect information to determine an

individual’s acceptability for Federal

employment and enrollment status in

the Government’s Life Insurance

program. We plan to add the following

questions about Selective Service

Registration, which are currently on the

Applicant’s Statement of Selective

Service Registration to the Optional

Form 306: ‘‘If you are a male born after

December 31, 1959, and are at least 18

years of age, civil service employment

law (5 U.S.C. 3328) requires you must

register with the Selective Service

System, unless you meet certain

exemptions. Are you a male born after

December 31, 1959? Yeslllll

Nolllll Have you registered with

the Selective Service? Yeslllll

Nolllll. If No, describe your

reason(s) in item 16.’’

We estimate 474,000 forms will be

completed annually. Each form takes

approximately 15 minutes to complete.

The annual estimated burden is 118,500

hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

[Rule 13f–1; SEC File No. 270–22; OMB

Control No. 3235–0006]

Existing Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of Filings and

Information Services, Washington, D.C.

20549–0007.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities

and Exchange Commission (the

‘‘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 (‘‘OMB’’) for

extension and approval.

Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange

Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1)

Adopt rules that create a reporting and

disclosure system to collect specific

information; and (2) disseminate such

information to the public. Rule 13f–1 3

under the Exchange Act requires

institutional investment managers that

exercise investment discretion over

accounts—having in the aggregate a fair

market value of at least $100,000,000 of

exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted

equity securities—to file quarterly

reports with the Commission on Form

13F.

The information collection

requirements apply to institutional

investment managers that meet the $100

million reporting threshold. Section

13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an

‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as

any person, other than a natural person,

investing in or buying and selling

securities for its own account, and any

person exercising investment discretion

with respect to the account of any other

person. Rule 13f–1(b) under the

Exchange act defines ‘‘investment

discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F

reporting.

The reporting system required by

Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is

intended, among other things, to create

in the Commission a central repository

of historical and current data about the

investment activities of institutional

investment managers, and to improve

the body of factual data available to

regulators and the public.

The Commission staff estimates that

2,108 respondents make approximately

8,949 responses under the rule each

year. The staff estimates that on average,

Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year

to prepare and submit the report. In

addition, the staff estimates that 129

respondents file approximately 516

amendments each year. The staff

estimates that on average, Form 13F

filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and

submit amendments to Form 13F. The

total annual burden of the rule’s

requirements for all respondents

therefore is estimated to be 208,786.4

hours (2,108 filers × 98.8 hours) + (129

filers × 4 hours)).

The estimate of average burden hours

is made solely for the purposes of the

Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate

is not derived from a comprehensive or

even a representative survey or study of

the costs of Commission rules. 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.

Written comments are invited on: (a)

Whether the collections of information

are necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

Commission, including whether the

information has practical utility; (b) the

accuracy of the Commission’s estimate

of the burdens of the collections of

information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information collected; and (d) ways to

minimize the burdens of the collections

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 20549–0004.

Dated: June 14, 2000.

Deputy Secretary.
