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 existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Securities Act Rule 173 (17 CFR 

230.173) provides a notice of 

registration to investors who purchased 

securities in a registered offering under 

the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a 

et seq.). A Rule 173 notice must be 

provided by underwriter or dealer to 

each investor who purchased securities 

from the underwriter or dealer. The 

Rule 173 notice is not publicly 

available. We estimate that it takes 

approximately 0.0167 hour per response 

to provide the information required 

under Rule 173 and that the information 

is filed by approximately 5,720 

respondents approximately 43,546 times 

a year for a total of 249,083,120 

responses. We estimate that the total 

annual reporting burden for Rule 173 is 

4,159,688 hours (0.0167 hours per 

response × 249,083,120 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

whether this 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 imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity 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 by December 4, 2023. 

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.

Upon Written Request Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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 existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 163 (17 CFR 230.163) provides 

an exemption from Section 5(c) under 

the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a 

et seq.) for certain communications by 

or on behalf of a well-known seasoned 

issuer. The information filed under Rule 

163 is publicly available. We estimate 

that it takes approximately 0.375 burden 

hours per response to provide the 

information required under Rule 163 

and that the information is filed by 

approximately 12 respondents for a total 

annual reporting burden of one hour. 

We estimate that 25% of 0.375 hours per 

response (0.09375 hours) is prepared by 

the respondent for a total annual burden 

of 1 hour (0.09375 hours per response 

× 12 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

whether this 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 imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including
