SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-492, OMB Control No.3235-0549]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 155
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736
[top] 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
Rule 155 (17 CFR 230.155) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq. ) provides safe harbors for a registered offering of securities from integration in two circumstances: (1) a registered offering that follows an abandoned private offering; and (2) a private offering that follows a withdrawn registered offering. Each of the rule's safe harbors imposes conditions designed to assure that there is a clean break between the abandoned offering and the later offering. In each safe harbor, these conditions include specified disclosure designed to assure that investors understand this break as they consider an investment decision in the later offering. We estimate Rule 155 takes approximately 4 hours per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 600 respondents annually. We estimate that 50% of the 4 hours per response (2 hours per response) is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 1,200 hours (2 hours per response × 600 responses).
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 by January 17, 2023.
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 John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.
Dated: November 15, 2022.

Assistant Secretary.
