    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of

extension for a current collection of information to the Office of 
Management and Budget for approval. The Securities and Exchange 
Commission has implemented an Electronic Data Collection System 
database (the Database) and invites comment on the Database that 
supports information provided by the general public that would like to 
file a tip or complaint with the Commission. The Database is a web 
based e-filed dynamic report based on technology that pre-populates and 
establishes a series of questions based on the data that the individual 
enters. The individual then completes specific information on the 
subject(s) and nature of the suspicious activity, using the data 
elements appropriate to the type of complaint or subject. There are no 
costs associated with this collection. The public interface to the 
Database is available using the Tips, Complaints and Referrals Portal. 
Information is provided voluntarily.
    Estimated number of annual responses = 13,120.
    Estimated annual reporting burden = 6,560 hours (30 minutes per 
submission).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Background documentation for this information collection may be 
viewed at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. Please direct 
general comments to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the
