Extension: Form ID
SEC File No. 270-291, OMB Control No. 3235-0328
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 information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and
approval.
Form ID (OMB Control No. 3235-0328; SEC File No. 270-291) is used by companies
and other entities to apply for identification numbers and access codes used in conjunction with
the EDGAR electronic filing system. The information provided on Form ID is an essential part
of the security of the EDGAR system. Form ID must be filed every time a registrant or other
person obtains or changes an identification number. Form ID is filed by all persons that are
required to file information electronically on EDGAR, including but not limited to, individuals,
companies, other for-profit organizations, or governmental entities. We estimate that
approximately 46,842 filers file Form ID annually and that it takes approximately 0.15 hours per
response to prepare for a total of 7,027 annual burden hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the

2
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.
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.
Please direct your written comment to Charles Riddle, Acting Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20549 or send an e-mail to: [email protected].
