SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Form D; SEC File No. 270-072, OMB Control No. 3235-0076

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995

[[Page 14257]]

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
this request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Form D (17 CFR 239.500) is a notice of sales filed by issuers 
making an offering of securities in reliance on an exemption under 
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) or Section 4(a)(5) of the 
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77d(a)(5)). Regulation D sets forth 
rules governing the limited offer and sale of securities without 
Securities Act registration. The purpose of Form D is to collect 
empirical data, which provides a continuing basis for action by the 
Commission either in terms of amending existing rules and regulations 
or proposing new ones. In addition, the Form D allows the Commission to 
elicit information necessary in assessing the effectiveness of 
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) and Section 4(6) of the 
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77d(6)) as capital-raising devices 
for all businesses. Form D information is required to obtain or retain 
benefits under Regulation D. Approximately 23,571 issuers file Form D 
and it takes approximately 4 hours per response. We estimate that 25% 
of the 4 hours per response (1 hour per response) is prepared by the 
issuer for an annual reporting burden of 23,571 hours (1 hour per 
response x 23,571responses).
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an email to: 
Lindsay.M.Abate@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia 
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: March 6, 2020.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
