SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; 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:
    Regulation A (Form 1-A), SEC File No. 270-110, OMB Control No. 
3235-0286

    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 extension and approval.
    Regulation A (17 CFR 230.251 through 230.263) provides an exemption 
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) for certain limited offerings of securities by issuers who do not 
otherwise file reports with the Commission. Form 1-A is an offering 
statement filed under Regulation A. The paperwork burden from 
Regulation A is imposed through the forms that are subject to the 
disclosure requirements in Regulation A and is reflected in the 
analysis of the form. To avoid a Paperwork Reduction Act inventory 
reflecting duplicative burdens, for administrative convenience we 
estimate the burden imposed by Regulation A to be a total of one hour. 
We estimate that approximately 179 issuers file Forms 1-A. We estimate 
that Form 1-A takes approximately 732.28 hours to prepare. We estimate 
that 75% of the 732.28 hours per response (549.21 hours) is prepared by 
the company for a total annual burden of 98,309 hours (549.21 hours per 
response x 179 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.
    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.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Riddle, Acting 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an 
email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: May 8, 2019.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Deputy Secretary.
