SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

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:
    Rule 19d-3; SEC File No. 270-245, OMB Control No. 3235-0204

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the 
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 19d-
3 (17 CFR 240.19d-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 19d-3 prescribes the form and content of applications to the 
Commission by persons seeking Commission review of final disciplinary 
actions against them taken by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') 
for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The 
Commission uses the information provided in the application filed 
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including: 
(1) Final disciplinary sanctions; (2) denial or conditioning of 
membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions or 
limitations of access to services offered by a SRO or member thereof.
    It is estimated that approximately 40 respondents will utilize this 
application procedure annually. This figure is based upon past 
submissions. It is estimated that each respondent will submit 
approximately one response. The staff estimates that the average number 
of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-3 will 
be approximately eighteen hours. We estimate that approximately 25 
firms or natural persons would draft the applications themselves for an 
aggregate annual hourly burden of 450 (25 x 18), and that 15 would hire 
outside counsel, at a cost of $7,218 per submission, for an aggregate 
annual dollar cost burden of $108,270 (15 x $7,218).
    The filing of an application pursuant to Rule 19d-3 is voluntary 
and does not require the collection of confidential information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should 
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission,
