SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Comment Request: ``Tell Us How We're Doing!''; SEC File No. 270-406; 
OMB Control No. 3235-0463.

    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 
previously-approved questionnaire to the Office of Management and 
Budget for approval.
    The Commission currently sends the questionnaire to persons who 
have used the services of the Commission's Office of Investor Education 
and Advocacy (OIEA). The questionnaire consists mainly of eight (8) 
questions concerning the quality of services provided by OIEA. Most of 
the questions can be answered by checking a box on the questionnaire.
    The Commission needs the information to evaluate the quality of 
services provided by OIEA. Supervisory personnel of OIEA use the 
information collected in assessing staff performance and for 
determining what improvements or changes should be made in OIEA 
operations for services provided to investors.
    The respondents to the questionnaire are those investors who 
request assistance or information from OIEA.
    The total reporting burden of the questionnaire in 2007 was 
approximately 142 hours and 45 minutes. This was calculated by 
multiplying the total number of investors who responded to the 
questionnaire times how long it is estimated to take to complete the 
questionnaire (571 respondents x 15 minutes = 142 hours and 45 
minutes).
    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 
the 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.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director and 
Chief Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, 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: April 10, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
