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

*Extension:*

Regulation FD; OMB Control No. 3235-0536; SEC File No. 270-475.

                    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 an extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.                

                    Regulation FD (17 CFR 243.100*et seq*.)—Other Disclosure Materials requires public disclosure of material information from issuers of publicly traded securities so that investors have current information upon which to base investment decisions. The purpose of the regulation is to require that: (1) When an issuer intentionally discloses material information, it does so through public disclosure, not selective disclosure; and (2) whenever an issuer learns that it has made a non-intentional material selective disclosure, the issuer makes prompt public disclosure of that information. Regulation FD was adopted due to a concern that the practice of selective disclosure leads to a loss of investor confidence in the integrity of our capital markets. All information is provided to the public for review. The information required is filed on occasion and is mandatory. We estimate that approximately 13,000 issuers make Regulation FD disclosures approximately five times a year for a total of 58,000 submissions annually, not including an estimated 7,000 issuers who file Form 8-K (17 CFR 249.308) to comply with Regulation FD. We estimate that it takes approximately 5 hours per response (58,000 responses × 5 hours) for an estimated total burden of 290,000 hours annually. In addition, we estimate that 25% of the 5 hours (1.25 hours) is prepared by the filer for an estimated annual reporting burden of 72,500 hours (1.25 hours per response × 58,000 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                     *Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov*; 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:                     *PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov*. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.                

Dated: March 27, 2009.

Florence E. Harmon,

Deputy Secretary.
