SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0547]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request; Extension: Investor Form

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

20549-2736

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 (SEC or ``Commission'') is submitting to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) this request for extension of the proposed

collection of information.

Each year the Commission receives several thousand contacts from

investors who have complaints or questions on a wide range of

investment-related issues. To make it easier for the public to contact

the agency electronically, the Commission's Office of Investor

Education and Assistance (``OIEA'') created an electronic form (the

Investor Form at https://help.sec.gov/s/ ) that provides drop down

options to choose from in order to categorize the investor's complaint

or question, and may also provide the investor with automated

information about their issue. The Investor Form asks investors to

provide information concerning, among other things, their names, how

they can be reached, the names of the individuals or entities involved,

the nature of their complaint or tip, what documents they can provide,

and what, if any, actions they have taken. Use of the Investor Form is

voluntary. Absent the forms, the public still has several ways to

contact the agency, including telephone, facsimile, letters, and email.

Investors can access the Investor Form through the consolidated

Investor Complaint and Question web page ( https://help.sec.gov/s/ ).

OIEA receives approximately 13,000 contacts each year through the

Investor Form. Investors who choose not to use the Investor Form

receive the same level of service as those who do. The dual purpose of

the form is to make it easier for the public to contact the agency with

complaints, questions, tips, or other feedback and to further

streamline the workflow of Commission staff that record, process, and

respond to investor contacts.

The Commission uses the information that investors supply on the

Investor Form to review and process the contact (which may, in turn,

involve responding to questions, processing complaints, or, as

appropriate, initiating enforcement investigations), to maintain a

record of contacts, to track the volume of investor complaints, and to

analyze trends. Use of the Investor Form is voluntary. The Investor

Form asks investors to provide information concerning, among other

things, their names, how they can be reached, the names of the

individuals or entities involved, the nature of their complaint or tip,

what documents they can provide, and what, if any, actions they have

taken.

The staff of the Commission estimates that the total reporting

burden for using the Investor Form is 3,250 hours. The calculation of

this estimate depends on the number of investors who use the forms each

year and the estimated time it takes to complete the forms: 13,000

respondents x 15 minutes = 3,250 burden hours.

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 OMB Control Number.
