Extension: Industry Guides
SEC File No. 270-069, OMB Control No. 3235-0069
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.
Industry Guides are used by registrants in certain industries as disclosure guidelines to be
followed in presenting information to investors in Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) and
Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) registration statements and certain other Exchange Act
filings. The paperwork burden from the Industry Guides is imposed through the forms that are
subject to the disclosure requirements in the Industry Guides and is reflected in the analysis of
these documents. To avoid a Paperwork Reduction Act inventory reflecting duplicative burdens,
for administrative convenience the Commission estimates the total annual burden imposed by the
Industry Guides to be one hour.
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
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden

2
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 Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20549 or send an e-mail to: [email protected].
