SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-698, OMB Control No. 3235-0655]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Regulation 14N
and Schedule 14N
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.
[[Page 24644]]
Schedule 14N (17 CFR 240.14n-101) requires the filing of certain
information with the Commission by shareholders who submit a nominee or
nominees for director pursuant to applicable state law, or a company's
governing documents. Schedule 14N provides notice to the company of the
shareholder's intent to have the company include the shareholder's or
shareholder groups' nominee or nominees for director in the company's
proxy materials. This information is intended to assist shareholders in
making an informed voting decision with regards to any nominee or
nominees put forth by a nominating shareholder or group, by allowing
shareholders to gauge the nominating shareholder's interest in the
company, longevity of ownership, and intent with regard to continued
ownership in the company. We estimate that Schedule 14N takes
approximately 40 hours per response and will be filed by approximately
10 issuers annually. In addition, we estimate that 75% of the 40 hours
per response (30 hours per response) is prepared by the issuer for an
annual reporting burden of 300 hours (30 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 June 20, 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:
