[Federal Register Volume 85, Number 48 (Wednesday, March 11, 2020)] [Notices] [Page 14249] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2020-04943] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Proposed Collection; Comment Request Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736. Extension: Form 5 SEC File No. 270-323, OMB Control No. 3235-0362. 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. Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) every person who is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of any class of any equity security (other than an exempted security) which registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or who is a director or an officer of the issuer of such security (collectively ``reporting persons''), must file statements setting forth their security holdings in the issuer with the Commission. Form 5 (17 CFR 249.105) is an annual statement of beneficial ownership of securities. Approximately 3,904 reporting persons file Form 5 annually and we estimate that it takes approximately one hour to prepare the form for a total of 3,904 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 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 David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: [email protected]. Dated: March 6, 2020. J. Matthew DeLesDernier, Assistant Secretary. [FR Doc. 2020-04943 Filed 3-10-20; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8011-01-P
