Extension: Form 8-A
SEC File No. 270-54, 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") has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
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
bank or a bank holding company, must register a class of equity securities (other than exempted

2
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. The
information must be filed with the Commission on occasion. Form 8-A is a public document.
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).
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 website, www.reginfo.gov . Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC
20503, or by sending an e-mail to: [email protected]; and (ii) 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]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.
