Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form 12b-25, OMB Control No. 3235-0058, SEC File No. 270-71.

    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.
    The purpose of Form 12b-25 (17 CFR 240.12b-25) is to provide notice 
to the Commission and the marketplace that a registrant will be unable 
to timely file a required periodic or transition report pursuant to the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) or the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.). If all the 
filing conditions of the form are satisfied, the registrant is granted 
an automatic filing extension. The information required is filed on 
occasion and is mandatory. All information is available to the public 
for review. Approximately 7,799 registrants file Form 12b-25 and it 
takes approximately 2.5 hours per response for a total of 19,498 burden 
hours.
    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.
