SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.

Extension: Form S-8; OMB Control No. 3235-0066; SEC File No. 270-66.

    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 approval.
    Form S-8 (17 CFR 239.16b) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) is the primary registration statement used by 
qualified registrants to register securities issued in connection with 
employee benefit plans. We estimate that Form S-8 takes approximately 
24 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 3,847 respondents. We 
estimate that 50% of the 24 hours per response (12 hours per response) 
is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 46,164 
hours (12 hours per response x 3,847 responses).
    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.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o 
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or 
send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: March 29, 2007.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
