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 modifications to

the following Forms:

Form 8–A is a registration statement

used by issuers that are already

reporting under the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) to register

a class of securities under the Exchange

Act. This Form permits issuers to

incorporate by reference documents that

are already filed with the Commission.

The Commission proposes to permit

issuers to register concurrently a public

offering under the Securities Act of 1933

and a class of securities under the

Exchange Act by filing a single

Securities Act form that would cover

both registrations. This proposal would

reduce the number of filings that are

made on Form 8–A from 1,940 to 776,

and would reduce the estimated total

annual burden hours from 14,550 hours

to 5,820 hours.

Forms 10–K and 10–Q are filed by

issuers to satisfy their annual and

quarterly periodic reporting obligations,

respectively, pursuant to Section 13 and

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

‘‘Small business issuers,’’ as defined by

Exchange Act Rule 12b–2, are permitted

to use Forms 10–KSB and 10–QSB to

satisfy their annual and quarterly

periodic reporting obligations,

respectively, under Section 13 and

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In

addition, ‘‘foreign private issuers,’’ as

defined in Exchange Act Rule 3B–4(c),

may file Form 20–F to satisfy their

annual Exchange Act periodic reporting

obligations. The information required to

be disclosed in these Forms permits

verification of compliance with

securities law requirements, and assures

the public availability and

dissemination of material information

concerning an issuer.

The Commission proposed

eliminating Form SR, which is filed by

issuers to report the use of proceeds

following an initial public offering, and

requiring that the information currently

required by that Form be included in

the first periodic report filed by firsttime public issuers under the Exchange

Act. The use of proceeds information

would be reported on Forms 10–K, 10–

Q, 10–KSB, 10–QSB and, for foreign

private issuers, on Form 20–F. The

Commission’s proposal would

marginally increase the burden hours

associated with filing such Forms.

However, this increase is expected to

result in the provision of important

information regarding the use of

proceeds and the progress of an offering

within a filing that is more commonly

monitored by investors.

Each year, approximately 6,051

issuers file 6,051 Form 10–Ks, and

approximately 6,282 issuers file 18,216

Form 10–Qs. As a result of the

Commission’s proposal, an estimated

490 issuers would be required to

include the proposed use of proceeds

disclosure in their Forms 10–K and 10–

Q. The average burden hours for the

Forms 10–K and 10–Q that would

contain the proposed disclosure item is

expected to increase by 5.5 hours for

each Form submission. The total annual

burden hours for Form 10–K would

increase from 10,416,318 hours to

10,419,013 hours, and the total annual

burden hours for Form 10–Q would

increase from 2,623,104 hours to

2,631,189 hours.

Approximately 545 foreign private

issuers file 545 Form 20–Fs each year.

An estimated 100 of these issuers are

expected to include the proposed use of

proceeds information in their Form 20–

Fs, and the burden hours for such Form

20–Fs would increase by an average 5.5

hours per submission. The total annual
32862 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 25, 1996 / Notices

burden hours for Form 20–F would

increase 550 hours as a result of the

Commission’s proposal.

An estimated 3,031 small business

issuers file 9,093 Form 10–QSBs each

year. Approximately 265 such issuers

are expected to include the proposed

disclosure item in their Form 10–QSBs,

and the burden hours for such Form 10–

QSBs would increase by an average 5.5

hours per submission. The total annual

burden hours for Form 10–QSB will

increase from 1,191,183 hours to

1,195,555.5 hours.

Approximately 2,790 small business

issuers file Form 10–KSB each year, and

approximately 265 of these issuers are

expected to include the proposed use of

proceeds information in their Form 10–

KSBs. The burden hours for the affected

Form 10–KSBs would increase by an

average 5.5 hours per submission. The

total annual burden hours for Form 10–

KSB will increase from 3,389,850 hours

to 3,391,307.5 hours.

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.

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (Abatix Environmental

Corp., Common Stock, $0.001 Par

Value) File No. 1–10184

June 19, 1996.

Abatix Environmental Corp.

(‘‘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 Boston Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, as of the

April 30, 1996, the Company had

2,088,964 shares of Security

outstanding. The Security constitutes

the sole class of voting securities of the

Company. Each share of Security

entitles the holder thereof to one vote on

all matters to come before a meeting of

stockholders.

The trades of the Company’s Security

on the BSE since 1989 have been

minimal. In addition to the indirect

costs (filing of period reports, etc.)

related to being listed on the BSE, the

Company pays $1,000 per year in direct

fees.

The Security is currently listed on

The Nasdaq SmallCap Market tier of

The Nasdaq Stock Market. The issuer

cannot justify the expense of being

listed on an exchange and the Nasdaq

SmallCap system and thereby, wishes to

withdraw from the BSE.

Any interested person may, on or

before July 11, 1996 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.

Par Value; 8.22% Convertible

Subordinated Debentures Due 2004)

File No. 1–12630

June 19, 1996.

CenterPoint Properties Corporation

(‘‘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 securities

(‘‘Securities’’) from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Securities from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, it has

listed the Security with the New York

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’). In

making the decision to withdraw the

Securities from listing on the Amex, the

Company considered the direct and

indirect costs and expenses attendant on

maintaining the dual listing of the

Securities on the NYSE and on the

Amex. The Company does not see any

particular advantage in the dual trading

of the Securities and believes that dual

listing would fragment the market for its

Securities.

Any interested person may, on or

before July 11, 1996, 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

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application
