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.
