SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Upon Written Request; Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, 
Washington, DC 20549.

Extension: Rule 236; SEC File No. 270-118; OMB Control No. 3235-
0095.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 236 under the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'') 
requires issuers wishing to rely upon an exemption from the Securities 
Act registration for the issuance of fractional shares, script 
certificates or order forms, in connection with a stock dividend, stock 
split, reverse stock split, conversion, merger or similar transaction 
to furnish specified information to the Commission in writing at least 
ten days prior to the offering. The information is needed to provide 
notice that an issuer is relying on the exemption. Public companies are 
the likely respondents. An estimated ten submissions are made pursuant 
to Rule 236 annually, resulting in an estimated annual total burden of 
15 hours.
    The information is needed to establish qualification for reliance 
on the exemption. The information provided by Rule 236 is required to 
obtain or retain benefits. All information provided to the Commission 
is available to the public for review upon request.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503; and (ii) Michael E. Bartell, Associate 
Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: June 4, 1999.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
