SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-057, OMB Control No. 3235-0057]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Regulation 14C
(Commission Rules 14c-1 Through 14c-7 and Schedule 14C)
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 summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
``Exchange Act'') operates to require issuers that do not solicit
proxies or consents from any or all of the holders of record of a class
of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and in
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed under Section
14(a) in connection with a meeting of security holders (including
action by consent) to distribute to any holders that were not solicited
an information statement substantially equivalent to the information
that would be required to be transmitted if a proxy or consent
solicitation were made. Regulation 14C (Exchange Act Rules 14c-1
through 14c-7 and Schedule 14C) (17 CFR 240.14c-1 through 240.14c-7 and
240.14c-101) sets forth the requirements for the dissemination, content
and filing of the information statement. We estimate that Schedule 14C
takes approximately 129.1575 hours per response and will be filed by
approximately 569 issuers annually. In addition, we estimate that 75%
of the 129.1575 hours per response (96.8681 hours) is prepared by the
issuer for an annual reporting burden of 55,118 hours (96.8681 hours
per response x 569 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 December 5, 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:
