SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0305]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; 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 (SEC or ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget this request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below. The Commission also 
is requesting approval from OMB to designate this existing collection 
of information (OMB Control No. 3235-0305) as a ``common form'' for 
purposes of PRA submissions \1\ because the Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System uses this information collection (under OMB 
Control No. 7100-0091).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See ROCIS PRA Module User Guide v. 8.2, at 110-111 (Mar. 
2024), available at <a href="https://www.rocis.gov/rocis/viewResources.do">https://www.rocis.gov/rocis/viewResources.do</a> 
(``A `common form' is an information collection that can be used by 
two or more agencies, or government-wide, for the same purpose. The 
Common Forms Module [in ROCIS] allows a `host' agency to obtain 
[OMB] approval of an information collection for use by one or more 
`using' agencies. After OMB grants approval, any prospective using 
agency that seeks to collect identical information for the same 
purpose can obtain approval to use the `common form' by providing 
its agency-specific information to OMB (e.g., burden estimates and 
number of respondents). . . . The host agency will indicate in the 
Federal Register notices that it is requesting approval of a common 
form and, if known, identify other agencies that may use the 
information collection. Both the Federal Register notices and the 
ICR should account only for the burden imposed by the host agency's 
use of the common form. Once the host agency has received approval 
from OMB, any agency will be able to request OMB approval for its 
use of the common form in ROCIS by providing its agency specific 
information to OMB (e.g., burden estimates and number of 
respondents). Additional public notice by those agencies will not be 
required.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (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 required by Rule 13e-1 is mandatory, and 
filings made in response to Rule 13e-1 are publicly available on the 
Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. 
We estimate that it takes approximately 11.25 burden hours per response 
to provide the information required under Rule 13e-1 and that the 
information is filed once per year by approximately 1 respondent. We 
estimate that 25% of the 11.25 hours per response is carried internally 
by the company for a total annual reporting burden of approximately 3 
hours (11.25 hours per response x 25% x 1 response annually). We 
estimate that 75% of the 11.25 hours per response is carried externally 
by outside professionals retained by the company at a rate of $600 per 
hour for a total annual cost burden of approximately $5,063 ($600 per 
hour x 11.25 hours per response x 75% x 1 response annually).
    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.
