SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–110, OMB Control No. 

3235–0286] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Extension: 

Regulation A (Form 1–A): Small Issuer 

Exemption From Registration Under 

the Securities Act and Its Attendant 

Form 

Upon Written Request Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

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 A (17 CFR 230.251 

through 230.263) provides an exemption 

from registration under the Securities 

Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) for 

certain limited offerings of securities by 

issuers who do not otherwise file 

reports with the Commission. Form 1– 

A is an offering statement filed under 

Regulation A. The paperwork burden 

from Regulation A is imposed through 

the forms that are subject to the 

disclosure requirements in Regulation A 

and is reflected in the analysis of the 

form. To avoid a Paperwork Reduction 

Act inventory reflecting duplicative 

burdens, for administrative convenience 

we estimate the burden imposed by 

Regulation A to be a total of one hour. 

We estimate that approximately 325 

issuers file Forms 1–A. We estimate that 

Form 1–A takes approximately 717.372 

hours to prepare. We estimate that 75% 

of the 717.372 hours per response 

(538.029 hours) is prepared by the 

company for a total annual burden of 

174,859 hours (538.029 hours per 

response × 325 responses). 

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 background 

documentation for this information 

collection at the following website: 

www.reginfo.gov. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice by October 15, 2024 to (i) 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain 

and (ii) Austin Gerig, Director/Chief 

Data Officer, Securities and Exchange 

Commission, c/o Oluwaseun Ajayi, 100 

F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or

Secretary.
