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:
Rule 163; SEC File No. 270-556, OMB Control No. 3235-0619.

    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

[[Page 28982]]

(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
this request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 163 (17 CFR 230.163) provides an exemption from Section 5(c) 
(15 U.S.C. 77e(c)) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) for certain communications by or on behalf of a well-known 
seasoned issuer. The information filed under Rule 163 is publicly 
available. We estimate that it takes approximately 0.24 burden hours 
per response to provide the information required under Rule 163 and is 
filed by approximately 53 issuers. We estimate that 25% of the 0.24 
hours per response (0.06 hours) is prepared by the issuer for an annual 
reporting burden of 3 hours (0.06 hours per response x 53 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
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 email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 
F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: May 14, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
