    OMB Control No. 3235-0082, SEC File No. 270-101.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Form 11-K (17 CFR 249.311) is the annual report designed for use by 
employee stock purchase, savings and similar plans to comply with the 
reporting requirements under Section 15(d) of the Securities and 
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78o(d)). Section 
15(d) establishes a periodic reporting obligation for every issuer of a 
class of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 
``Securities Act'')(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form 11-K provides 
employees of an issuer with financial information so that they can 
assess the performance of the investment vehicle or stock plan. Form 
11-K is filed on occasion. The information collected must be filed with 
the Commission and is publicly available. Form 11-K takes approximately 
30 burden hours per response and is filed by 2,000 respondents for 
total of 60,000 burden hours.
    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.
