Submission for OMB Review; 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 14A (Commission Rules 14a-1 through 14a-21 and 
Schedule 14A) SEC File No. 270-056, OMB Control No. 3235-0059.

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 
``Exchange Act'') operates to make it unlawful for a company with a 
class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange 
Act to solicit proxies in

[[Page 56508]]

contravention of such rules and regulations as the Commission has 
prescribed as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for 
the protection of investors. The Commission has promulgated Regulation 
14A to regulate the solicitation of proxies or consents. Regulation 14A 
(Exchange Act Rules 14a-1 through 14a-21 and Schedule 14A) (17 CFR 
240.14a-1 through 240.14a-21 and 240.14a-101) sets forth the 
requirements for the dissemination, content and filing of proxy or 
consent solicitation materials in connection with annual or other 
meetings of holders of a Section 12-registered class of securities. We 
estimate that Schedule 14A takes approximately 130.52 hours per 
response and will be filed by approximately 5,586 issuers annually. In 
addition, we estimate that 75% of the 130.52 hours per response (97.89 
hours) is prepared by the issuer for an annual reporting burden of 
546,814 hours (97.89 hours per response x 5,586 responses).
    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.

information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.

Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
