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:
    Regulation 12B; OMB Control No. 3235-0062, SEC File No. 270-70.

    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 the request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Regulation 12B (17 CFR 240.12b-1-12b-37) under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act'') 
includes rules governing the registration and periodic reporting under 
Sections 12(b), 12(g), 13(a), and 15(d) (15 U.S.C. 78l(b), 78l(g), 
78m(a) and 78o(d)) of the Exchange Act. The purpose of the regulation 
is to set forth guidelines for the uniform preparation of Exchange Act 
registration statement and reports. All information is provided to the 
public for review. The information required is filed on occasion and it 
is mandatory. Regulation 12B is assigned one burden hour for 
administrative convenience because the regulation simply prescribes the 
disclosure that must appear in other filings under the federal 
securities laws.
    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: October 17, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
