SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form 10, OMB Control No. 3235-0064, SEC File No. 270-051.

    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 (``OMB'') for approval of extensions on the following:
    Form 10 (17 CFR 249.210) is used by the Commission to register 
securities pursuant to Section 12(b) and Section 12(g) (15 U.S.C. 
78l(b) and 78l(g)) of the Exchange Act of 1934. Form 10 requires 
financial and other information about such matters as the registrant's 
business, properties, identity and remuneration of management, 
outstanding securities and securities to be registered and financial 
condition. The information provided by Form 10 is intended to ensure 
the adequacy of information available to investors about the company. 
Form 10 takes approximately 215.210 hours per response to prepare and 
is filed by approximately 238 respondents. We estimated that 25% of the 
215.210 hours per response (53.802 hours) is prepared by the company 
for an annual reporting burden of 12, 805 hours (53.802 hours per 
response x 238 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 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 
burden of 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.
    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 OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comment to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email 
to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: January 6, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
