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 173;
    SEC File No. 270-557, OMB Control No. 3235-0618.

    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 (``OMB'') this request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Securities Act Rule 173 (17 CFR 230.173) provides a notice of 
registration to investors who purchased securities in a registered 
offering under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). A 
Rule 173 notice must be provided by each underwriter or dealer to each 
investor who purchased securities from the underwriter or dealer. The 
Rule 173 notice is not publicly available. We estimate that it takes 
approximately 0.0167 hour per response to provide the information 
required under Rule 173 and that the information is filed by 
approximately 5,338 respondents approximately 43,546 times a year for a 
total of 232,448,548 responses. We estimate that the total annual 
reporting burden for Rule 173 is 3,881,891 hours (0.0167 hours per 
response x 232,448,548 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 OMB 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: June 4, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
