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 S-X; SEC File No. 270-003, OMB Control No. 3235-0009

    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.
    Information collected and information prepared pursuant to 
Regulation S-X focus on the form and content of, and requirements for, 
financial statements filed with periodic reports and in connection with 
the offer and sale of securities. Investors need reasonably current 
financial statements to make informed investment and voting decisions.
    The potential respondents include all entities that file 
registration statements or reports pursuant to the Securities Act of 
1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a, et seq.), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) or the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 
80a-1, et seq.).
    Regulation S-X specifies the form and content of financial 
statements when those financial statements are required to be filed by 
other rules and forms under the federal securities laws. Compliance 
burdens associated with the financial statements are assigned to the 
rule or form that directly requires the financial statements to be 
filed, not to Regulation S-X. Instead, an estimated

[[Page 33935]]

burden of one hour traditionally has been assigned to Regulation S-X 
for incidental reading of the regulation. The estimated average burden 
hours are solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are 
not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or 
study of the costs of SEC rules or forms.
    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 Pamela Dyson, 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: July 17, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
