SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-114, OMB Control No. 3235-0102]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Tender Offer--
Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E, Schedule 14D-9
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.
Regulation 14D (17 CFR 240.14d-1--240.14d-11) and Regulation 14E
(17 CFR 240.14e-1--240.14e-8) and related Schedule 14D-9 (17 CFR
240.14d-101) require information important to security holders in
deciding how to respond to tender offers. Schedule 14D-9 takes
approximately 260.56 hours per
[[Page 68785]]
response to prepare and is filed by approximately 63 companies
annually. We estimate that 25% of the 260.56 hours per response (65.14
hours) is prepared by the company for an annual reporting burden of
4,104 hours (65.14 hours per response x 63 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 4, 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:
