SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, 
Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension: Rule 24b-1, OMB Control No. 3235-0194, SEC File No. 270-
205.

    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 (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
existing collection of information provided for in the following rule: 
Rule 24b-1 (17 CFR 240.24b-1).
    Rule 24b-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 
et seq.) requires a national securities exchange to keep and make 
available for public inspection a copy of its registration statement 
and exhibits filed with the Commission, along with any amendments 
thereto.
    There are eleven national securities exchanges that spend 
approximately one half hour each complying with this rule, for an 
aggregate total compliance burden of five and one half hours per year. 
The staff estimates that the average cost per respondent is $65.18 per 
year, calculated as the costs of copying ($13.97) plus storage 
($51.21), resulting in a total cost of compliance for the respondents 
of $716.98.
    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.
    Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an e-mail to: 
nfraser@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Lewis W. Walker, Acting 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. Comments must be submitted within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: December 8, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
