Extension: 

Rule 6c–7, SEC File No. 270–269, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0276. 

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 (the 

‘‘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 6c–7 (17 CFR 270.6c–7) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘1940 Act’’) 

provides exemption from certain 

provisions of Sections 22(e) and 27 of 

the 1940 Act for registered separate 

accounts offering variable annuity 

contracts to certain employees of Texas 

institutions of higher education 

participating in the Texas Optional 

Retirement Program. There are 

approximately 50 registrants governed 

by Rule 6c–7. The burden of compliance 

with Rule 6c–7, in connection with the 

registrants obtaining from a purchaser, 

prior to or at the time of purchase, a 

signed document acknowledging the 

restrictions on redeemability imposed 

by Texas law, is estimated to be 

approximately 3 minutes of professional 

time per response for each of 

approximately 2400 purchasers 

annually (at an estimated $67 per 

hour),1 for a total annual burden of 120 

hours (at a total annual cost of $8,040). 

The estimate of average burden hours 

is made solely for the purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not 

derived from a comprehensive or even 

a representative survey or study of the 

costs of Commission rules or forms. The 

Commission does not include in the 

estimate of average burden hours the 

time preparing registration statements 

and sales literature disclosure regarding 

the restrictions on redeemability 

imposed by Texas law. The estimate of 

burden hours for completing the 

relevant registration statements are 

reported on the separate PRA 

submissions for those statements. (See 

the separate PRA submissions for Form 

N–3 (17 CFR 274.11b) and Form N–4 (17 

CFR 274.11c.) 

The Commission requests written 

comments 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 clarity

of the information collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the

Extension: 

Rule 15g–5, OMB Control No. 3235– 

0394, SEC File No. 270–348. 

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 existing collection of information 

provided for in the following rule: Rule 

15g-5—Disclosure of compensation to 

associated persons in connection with 

penny stock transactions (17 CRF 

240.15g-5) under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.). The Commission plans to submit 

this existing collection of information to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Rule 15g–5 requires brokers and 

dealers to disclose to customers the 

amount of compensation to be received 

by their sales agents in connection with 

penny stock transactions. The purpose 

of the rule is to increase the level of 

disclosure to investors concerning 

penny stocks generally and specific 

penny stock transactions. 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 209 broker-dealers will 

spend an average of 87 hours annually 

to comply with the rule. Thus, the total 

compliance burden is approximately 

18,183 burden-hours per year. 

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 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. 

The commission may not conduct or 

sponsor collection of information unless 

it displays a currently valid control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

control number. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of

The purpose of Form 12b-25 (17 CFR

Commission and the marketplace that a 

public company will be unable to timely 

file a required periodic report or 

transition report pursuant to the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C 78a et seq.). If all the filing 

conditions of the form are satisfied, the 

company is granted an automatic filing 

extension. Approximately 7,799 

registrants file Form 12b-25 and it takes 

approximately 2.5 hours per response 

for a total of 19,498 burden hours. 

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
