TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Comments were received from DOE–
INL, HHS–CMS, OPM, and the public
related to the functionality of the e-QIP
application. The recommendations were
not accepted because the comments do
not pertain to content of the
questionnaire but focus on the
application. Recommendations included
the need to provide additional support
for the ‘‘agency reviewer’’ role in e-QIP,
the rejection process, receipt of error
messages, the ability to print a compact
version of the questionnaire, support for
digitally signing signature release forms,
the ability to save partial data, and
expanding characters used in certain
fields. The recommendations were
referred to the appropriate OPM
personnel who have responsibility for
the functionality of the e-QIP
application.
A commenter with the USAF
questioned the requirement for the
respondent to provide information
regarding a spouse or cohabitant
without that person’s written consent.
OPM did not accept this comment.
Information collected for the spouse/cohabitant is necessary to fulfill
requirements for the level of background
investigation requested on the
respondent, which may include a
spouse/cohabitant national agency
check. Because the spouse/cohabitant is
neither the subject of the investigation
nor the subject of the resulting report of
investigation, his or her written consent
is not required by the Privacy Act or by
5 U.S.C. 9101.
A commenter with USAF requested
publication of a policy that strictly
prohibits the use of the SF 86
applications and information for any
purposes outside of the official security
clearance process. In response, OPM
notes that written guidance is provided
under the following sections of the
instructional portion of the form:
Purpose of the Form, Disclosure
Information, and Privacy Act Routine
Uses. The collection, maintenance, and
disclosure of background investigative
information are governed by the Privacy
Act. Disclosure is also controlled under
5 CFR part 736 and E.O. 10450.

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:
Securities Rule 477; OMB Control No.
3235–0550, SEC File No. 270–493.
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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) sets forth procedures for
withdrawing a registration statement,
including any amendments or exhibits
to the registration statement. The rule
provides that if an issuer intends to rely
on the safe harbor contained in
Securities Act Rule 155 to conduct an
unregistered private offering of
securities, the issuer must affirmatively
state in the withdrawal application that
it plans to undertake a subsequent
private offering of its securities. Without
this statement, the Commission would
not be able to monitor a company’s
reliance on, and compliance with,
Securities Act Rule 155(c). All
information submitted to the
Commission under Securities Act Rule
477 is available to the public for review.
Information provided under Securities
Act Rule 477 is mandatory. The
information is required on occasion. We
estimate that approximately 300 issuers
will file Securities Act Rule 477
submissions annually at an estimated
one hour per response for a total annual
burden of approximately 300 hours. We
estimate that 100% of the reporting
burden is prepared by the issuer.
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.

Extension:
Rule 155. OMB Control No. 3235–0549,
SEC File No. 270–492.

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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 155 (17 CFR 230.155) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) provides safe harbors for a
registered offering of securities
following an abandoned private
offering, or a private offering following
an abandoned a registered offering,
without integrating the registered and
private offerings in either case. In
connection with registered offering
following an abandoned private
offering, Rule 155 requires an issuer to
include in any prospectus filed as a part
of a registration statement disclosure
regarding the abandoned private
offering. Similarly, the rule requires an
issuer to provide each offeree in a
private offering following an abandoned
registered offering with: (1) Information
concerning the withdrawal of the

registration statement; (2) the fact that
the private offering is unregistered; and
(3) the legal implications of the
offering’s unregistered status. All
information submitted to the
Commission is available to the public
for review. Companies only need to
satisfy the Rule 155 information
requirements if they wish to take
advantage of the rule’s safe harbors. The
Rule 155 information is required only
on occasion. We estimate Rule 155 takes
approximately 4 hours per response to
prepare and is filed by 600 respondents
annually. We estimate that 50% of the
4 hours per response (2 hours per
response) is prepared by the filer for a
total annual reporting burden of 1,200
hours (2 hours per response × 600
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
control number.
The public may view the background
documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site,
