SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-255, OMB Control No.3235-0305]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Extension; Rule 13e-1

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 (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information

[[Page 36909]]

summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing 
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for 
extension and approval.
    Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78 et seq.) makes it unlawful for an issuer who has 
received notice that it is the subject of a tender offer made under 
Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act to purchase any of its equity 
securities during the tender offer, unless it first files a statement 
with the Commission containing information required by the rule. This 
rule is in keeping with the Commission's statutory responsibility to 
prescribe rules and regulations that are necessary for the protection 
of investors. The information filed under Rule 13e-1 must be filed with 
the Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes 
approximately 10 burden hours per response to provide the information 
required under Rule 13e-1 and that the information is filed by 
approximately 10 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 10 hours per 
response (2.5 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual 
reporting burden of 25 hours (2.5 hours per response x 10 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 August 22, 2022.
    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:
