SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form D and Regulation D, OMB Control No. 3235-0076, SEC File No. 
270-72.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) sets forth rules governing 
the limited offer and sale of securities without Securities Act 
registration. Those relying on Regulation D must file Form D (17 CFR 
239.500). The purpose of the Form D is to collect empirical data, which 
provides a continuing basis for action by the Commission either in 
terms of amending existing rules and regulations or proposing new ones. 
In addition, the form allows the Commission to elicit information 
necessary to assess the effectiveness of Regulation D and Section 4(6) 
of the Securities Act of 1933 (U.S.C. 77d(6)) as capital-raising 
devices. Form D information is required to obtain or retain benefits 
under Regulation D. Approximately 25,000 issuers file Form D and it 
takes approximately 4 hours per response. We estimate that 25% of the 4 
hours per response (1 hour per response) is prepared by the issuer for 
an estimated annual reporting burden of 25,000 hours (1 hour per 
response x 25,000 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.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington DC 20503 or send an e-mail to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f8ab90999f8d9e8c99a7b990959d9cb897959ad69d9788d69f978e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f7a49f969082918396a8b69f9a9293b7989a95d9929887d9909881">[email protected]</span></a>; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, Securities 
and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 
Alexandria VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#29797b6876644840454b4651695a4c4a074e465f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dd8d8f9c8290bcb4b1bfb2a59daeb8bef3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a>.

    Dated: March 27, 2009.
