SEC File No. 270-054, OMB Control No. 3235-0056
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 8-A (17 CFR 249.208a) is a registration statement used to register a class of
securities under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g)) (“Exchange Act”). Section 12(a) (15 U.S.C. 78l(a)) of the Exchange
Act makes it unlawful for any member, broker, or dealer to effect any transaction in any security
(other than an exempted security) on a national securities exchange unless such security has been
registered under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Exchange Act Section 12(b)
establishes the registration procedures. Exchange Act Section 12(g) requires an issuer that is not
a bank or bank holding company to register a class of equity securities (other than exempted
securities) within 120 days after its fiscal year end if, on the last day of its fiscal year, the issuer
has total assets of more than $10 million and the class of equity securities is “held of record” by
either (i) 2,000 persons, or (ii) 500 persons who are not accredited investors. An issuer that is a

2
bank or a bank holding company, must register a class of equity securities (other than exempted
securities) within 120 days after the last day of its first fiscal year ended after the effective date of
the JOBS Act if, on the last day of its fiscal year, the issuer has total assets of more than $10
million and the class of equity securities is “held of record” by 2,000 or more persons.
Form 8-A takes approximately 3 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 871 respondents
for a total annual reporting burden of 2,613 hours (3 hours per response x 871 responses).
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. 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].
