Regulation FD

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.
Regulation FD (17 CFR 243.100 et
seq.)—Other Disclosure Materials
requires public disclosure of material
information from issuers of publicly
traded securities so that investors have
current information upon which to base
investment decisions. The purpose of
the regulation is to require: (1) An issuer
that intentionally discloses material
information, to do so through public
disclosure, not selective disclosure; and
(2) to make prompt public disclosure of
material information that was
unintentionally selectively disclosed.
We estimate that approximately 13,000
issuers make Regulation FD disclosures
approximately five times a year for a
total of 58,000 submissions annually,
not including an estimated 7,000 issuers
who file Form 8–K to comply with
Regulation FD. We estimate that it takes
5 hours per response (58,000 responses
× 5 hours) for a total burden of 290,000
hours annually. In addition, we estimate
that 25% of the 5 hours per response
(1.25 hours) is prepared by the filer for
an annual reporting burden of 72,500
hours (1.25 hours per response × 58,000
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has 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.

Form TH

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 TH (17 CFR 239.65, 17 CFR
249.447, 269.10 and 17 CFR 274.404)
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.), the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.), the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.) and the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) is used by
registrants to notify the Commission
that an electronic filer is relying on the
temporary hardship exemption for the
filing of a document in paper form that
would otherwise be required to be filed
electronically as required by Rule 201(a)
of Regulation S–T. Form TH must be
filed every time an electronic filer
experiences unanticipated technical
difficulties preventing the timely
preparation and submission of a
required electronic filing.
Approximately 5 registrants file Form
TH and it takes an estimated 0.33 hours
per response for a total annual burden
of 2 hours (0.33 hours per response × 5
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.
