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

requests for approval of extension on

previously approved collections of

information:

Rule 15g–3 requires that brokers and

dealers disclose to customers current

quotation prices or similar market

information in connection with

transactions in certain low-priced, overthe-counter securities. It is estimated

that approximately 270 respondents

incur an average burden of 100 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–4 requires brokers and

dealers effecting transactions in penny

stocks for or with customers to disclose

the amount of compensation received by

the broker-dealer in connection with the

transaction. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents incur an

average of 100 hours annually to comply

with the rule.

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. It is estimated

that approximately 270 respondents

incur an average burden of 100 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–6 requires brokers and

dealers that sell penny stocks to their

customers to provide monthly account

statements containing information with

regard to the penny stocks held in

customer accounts. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents incur an

average burden of 90 hours annually to

comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–7(a) would require brokers

and dealers that effect transactions in

penny stocks and are the only market

makers with respect to such securities to

disclose this fact in connection with

such transactions. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents would

incur an average burden of 50 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 17Ac2–1 and Form TA–1 is used

by transfer agents to register with the

Commission, the Comptroller of the

Currency, the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System, or the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation, and to

amend their registration.

It is estimated that approximately 359

respondents will incur an average

burden of 538.5 hours annually to

comply with the rule and form.

General comments regarding the

estimated burden hours should be

directed to the Desk Officer for the

Securities and Exchange Commission at

the address below. Any comments

concerning the accuracy of the

estimated average burden hours for

compliance with Commission rules and

forms should be directed to Michael E.

BILLING CODE 8010–01–M

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

to Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (ICG Communications,

Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par Value)

File No. 1–11965

March 26, 1997.

ICG Communications, Inc.

(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified security

(‘‘Security’’) from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, the Board

of Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) unanimously

approved a resolution on February 11,

1997, to withdraw the Security from

listing on the Amex and, instead, to list

such Security on the Nasdaq National

Market (‘‘Nasdaq’’). The decision of the

Board was based upon the belief that

listing the Security on Nasdaq will be

more beneficial to its stockholders than

the present listing on Amex because the

Company has increasingly become

aware of a reluctance by a seemingly

growing number of trading firms to

trade or market securities listed on

Amex. The Company believes this

reluctance has been a factor contributing

to the very thin trading volume in the

Company’s stock. Furthermore, the

Company also believes such reluctance

to trade has, in turn, contributed to an

unwillingness to do research on the

Company. As a combined result,

investors and prospective investors have

not been as well served as the Company

believes they are more likely to be on

Nasdaq.

Any interested person may, on or

before April 16, 1997, submit by letter

to the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
