SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form SH; OMB Control No. 3235-0646; SEC File No. 270-585.

    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 SH (17 CFR 249.326T) is required to be submitted to the 
Commission by institutional investment managers subject to the existing 
Form 13F (CFR 249.325) filing requirements on the first business day of 
each week in which the institutional investment manager has entered 
into any new short positions or closed part or all of any short 
positions with respect to any Section 13(f) (15 U.S.C. 78m(f)) 
securities except for options. The information provided under Form SH 
is mandatory and responses will be kept confidential. We estimate that 
1,000 institutional investment managers subject to the Form 13F filing 
requirements will file Form SH to report the entry into short positions 
with respect to Section 13(f) securities. We estimate that each will 
file 36 Form SH reports during the nine-month period that Rule 10a-3T 
(17 CFR 240.10a-3T) will be in effect. We further estimate that each of 
the 1,000 institutional investment managers will spend an average of 20 
hours preparing each Form SH. Therefore the estimated total reporting 
burden associated with Form SH is 720,000 hours (1,000 respondents x 20 
hours per form x 36 forms).
    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.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (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 send an e-mail to Shagufta_
Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, 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 to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: March 25, 2009.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
