hours. We estimate that 25% of .24 

hours per response (.06 hours) is 

prepared by the company for a total 

annual burden of 3 hours (.06 hours per 

response × 53 responses). 

Rule 173 (17 CFR 230.173) provides a 

notice of registration to investors who 

purchased securities in a registered 

offering under the Securities Act of 1933 

(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The Rule 173 

notice must be provided by each 

underwriter or dealer to each purchaser 

of securities. It is not publicly available. 

We estimate that it takes approximately 

.01 hour per response to provide the 

information required under Rule 173 

and that the information is filed by 

5,338 companies approximately 43,546 

times a year for a total of 232,448,548 

responses. We estimate that the total 

annual reporting burden for Rule 173 is 

2,324,485 hours (.01 hours per response 

× 232,448,548 responses). 

Rule 433 (17 CFR 230.433) governs 

the use and filing of free writing 

prospectuses under the Securities Act of 

1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The 

purpose of Rule 433 is to reduce 

restrictions on communications that 

companies can make to investors during 

a registered offering, while still 

maintaining a high level of investor 

protection. A free writing prospectus 

meeting the conditions of Rule 433(d)(1) 

must be filed with the Commission and 

is publicly available. We estimate that it 

takes approximately 1.3 burden hours 

per response to prepare a free writing 

prospectus and that the information is 

filed by 2,906 companies approximately 

1.25 times a year for a total of 3,633 

responses. We estimate that 25% of the 

1.3 burden hours per response (.32 

hours) is prepared by the company for 

total annual reporting burden of 1,163 

hours (.32 hours × 3,633 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether these proposed collections of 

information are necessary for the 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the 

collections of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Consideration will be given to 

comments and suggestions submitted in 

writing within 60 days of this 

publication.

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

that there is a lack of current and 

accurate information concerning the 

securities of Roanoke Technology, Corp. 

(‘‘Roanoke’’), because it is delinquent in 

its periodic filing obligations under 

Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange 

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

13a–1 and 13a–13 thereunder, having 

not filed a periodic report after its Form 

10–Q for the quarter ended July 31, 

2005. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act, that 

trading in the above listed company is 

suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. 

EST on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 

through 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday, 

December 19, 2007. 

By the Commission.
