    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 extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    Form SE is used by registrants to file paper copies of exhibits 
that would be difficult or impossible to submit electronically. The 
information contained in Form SE is used by the Commission to identify 
paper copies of exhibits. Form SE is a public document and is filed on 
occasion. Form SE is filed by individuals, companies or other for-
profit organizations that are required to file electronically. It is 
estimated that 110 registrants file Form SE at an estimated .10 hours 
per response for a total annual burden of 11 hours.
    Form ID is used by companies to apply for identification numbers 
and passwords used in conjunction with the EDGAR electronic filing 
system. The information provided on Form ID is essential to the 
security of the EDGAR system. Form ID is not a public document because 
it is used solely for the purpose of registering filers on the EDGAR 
system. Form ID must be file every time a registrant or other person 
obtains or changes an identification number. The form is filed by 
individuals, companies or other for-profit organizations that are 
required to filed electronically. It is estimated that 7,000 
registrants file Form ID at an estimated .15 hours per response for a 
total annual burden of 1,050 hours.
    Form ET is used by companies to facilitate the transfer of 
information submitted to the Commission on magnetic tapes to the EDGAR 
system. Form ET provides technical information about the magnetic tape 
cartridge contents and identifies a contract person who can answer any 
questions about the tape cartridge. Form ET is a public document and is 
filed on occasion. It is filed by individuals, companies or other for-
profit organization that are required to file electronically. It must 
be filed every time a filing is submitted to the Commission on magnetic 
tape to identify such filings. It is estimated that 120 registrants 
file Form ET at an estimated .25 hours per response for a total annual 
burden of 30 hours.
    Form TH is used by registrants to notify the Commission that an 
electronic filer is relying on the temporary hardship exemption for the 
filing of a document in paper format that would otherwise be required 
to file electronically as prescribed by Rule 201(a) of Regulations S-T. 
Form TH is a public document and is filed on occasion. Form TH must be 
filed every time an electronic filer experiences unanticipated 
technical difficulties preventing the timely preparation and submission 
of a required filing. It is estimated that Form TH is filed by 15 
registrants at an estimated .33 hours per response for a total annual 
burden of 5 hours.
    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

Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549.
