BILLING CODE 7590-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Proposed Collection; Comment Request Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 20549. Extension: Rule 57(a); SEC File No. 270-376; OMB Control No. 3235-0428. Form U-57; SEC File No. 270-376; OMB Control No. 3235-0428. 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 collections of information summarized below.
The Commission plans to submit these existing collections of information to the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) for extension and approval. Under rule 57(a) a Form U-57 must be used by a person filing under sections 33(a)(3)(B) and 33(c)(1) of the Act. The 101 annual responses together incur about 405 burden hours to comply with these requirements. The Commission estimates that the total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden is 405 (101 annual responses x 10 hours = 1010 burden hours).
This represents the same estimated hours annually in the paperwork burden from the prior estimate. The Commission needs the information required by Rule 57(a) in order for the Commission to be informed of when a registered holding company becomes a foreign utility company or when it acquires a foreign utility company. The Commission uses this information to determine the existence of detriment to the interests the Act was designed to protect. Compliance with the requirements to provide the information is mandatory.
The information will not be kept confidential. The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and forms. Written comments are invited on:
(a)Whether the proposed 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 of 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. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this publication. Please direct your written comments to Kenneth A. Fogash, Acting Associate Executive Director/CIO, Office of Information Technology, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549. Dated: January 7, 2004. Margaret H. McFarland, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc. 04-1072 Filed 1-16-04; 8:45 am]
