SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-323, OMB Control No. 3235-0362]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form 5--Annual 
Statement of Beneficial Ownership

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) every person who is directly 
or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of any class 
of any equity security (other than an exempted security) which 
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or who is a 
director or an officer of the issuer of such security (collectively 
``reporting persons''), must file statements setting forth their 
security holdings in the issuer with the Commission. Form 5 (17 CFR 
249.105) is an annual statement of beneficial ownership of securities. 
Approximately 5,939 reporting persons file Form 5 annually and we 
estimate that it takes approximately one hour to prepare the form for a 
total of 5,939 annual burden hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper 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 collection 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 by June 20, 2023.
    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.
    Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John 
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected].

    Dated: April 17, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
