BILLING CODE 7710-FW-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [OMB Control No. 3235-0073] Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form S-3—Registration Statement *Upon Written Request, Copies Available From:* Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736 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 request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.
Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is used by issuers to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a *et seq.* ). The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings. The information required by Form S-3 is mandatory, and Form S-3 is publicly available on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. We estimate that Form S-3 takes approximately 458.87 hours per response and is filed once per year by approximately 1,467 issuers, for a total of approximately 1,467 responses annually.
We estimate that 25% of the 458.87 hours per response is carried internally by the issuer for annual reporting burden of 168,291 hours ((25% × 458.87 hours per response) × 1,467 responses). We estimate that 75% of the 458.87 hours per response is carried externally by outside professionals retained by the issuer at an estimated rate of $600 per hour for a total annual cost burden of $302,923,031 ((75% × 458.87 hours per response) × $600 per hour × 1,467 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 and comment on this information collection request at: *https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202508-3235-006* or email comment to *MBX.OMB.OIRA.SEC_desk_officer@omb.eop.gov* within 30 days of the day after publication of this notice, by January 5, 2026. Dated: December 1, 2025. Sherry R. Haywood, Assistant Secretary. [FR Doc. 2025-21826 Filed 12-2-25; 8:45 am]
