COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

Extension: 

Regulation BTR, SEC File No. 270–521, 

OMB Control No. 3235–0579 

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. 

Regulation Blackout Trade Restriction 

(‘‘Regulation BTR’’) (17 CFR 245.100– 

245.104) clarifies the scope and 

application of Section 306(a) of the 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (‘‘Act’’) (15 

U.S.C. 7244(a)). Section 306(a)(6) [15 

U.S.C. 7244(a)(6)] of the Act requires an 

issuer to provide timely notice to its 

directors and executive officers and to 

the Commission of the imposition of a 

blackout period that would trigger the 

statutory trading prohibition of Section 

306(a)(1) [15 U.S.C. 7244(a)(1)]. Section 

306(a) of the Act prohibits any director 

or executive officer of an issuer of any 

equity security, directly or indirectly, 

from purchasing, selling or otherwise 

acquiring or transferring any equity 

security of that issuer during any 

blackout period with respect to such 

equity security, if the director or 

executive officer acquired the equity 

security in connection with his or her 

service or employment. Approximately 

1,230 issuers file Regulation BTR 

notices approximately 5 times a year for 

a total of 6,150 responses. We estimate 

that it takes approximately 2 hours to 

prepare the blackout notice for a total 

annual burden of 2,460 hours. The 

issuer prepares 75% of the 2,460 annual 

burden hours for a total reporting 

burden of (1,230 × 2 × 0.75) 1,845 hours. 

In addition, we estimate that an issuer 

distributes a notice to five directors and 

executive officers at an estimated 5 

minutes per notice (1,230 blackout 

period × 5 notices × 5 minutes) for a 

total reporting burden of 512 hours. The 

combined annual reporting burden is 

(1,845 hours + 512 hours) 2,357 hours. 

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 website, 

www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be 

directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the 

Securities and Exchange Commission,
