SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.

Extension:
    Form SB-1; OMB Control No. 3235-0423; SEC File No. 270-374.

    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 a 
request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Small business issuers use Form SB-1 (17 CFR 239.9), as defined in 
Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405) of the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities 
Act'') (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.), to register up to $10 million of 
securities to be sold for cash, if they have not registered more than 
$10 million in securities offerings in any continuous 12-month period, 
including the transaction being registered. The information to be 
collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available 
to investors in the registration of securities and assures public 
availability of the information. The

[[Page 54696]]

information provided is mandatory. All information provided to the 
Commission is available to the public for review. Approximately 17 
respondents file Form SB-1 annually at an estimated 708 hours per 
response for a total annual burden of 12,036 hours. We further estimate 
that 25% of the total burden (3,009 hours) is prepared by the company 
and the remaining 75% of the total burden hours is prepared by outside 
counsel retained by the company.
    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.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (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 send an e-mail to 
David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send 
an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: September 11, 2006.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.
