SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0102]
Agency Information Collection Activities; 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. The Commission also is requesting
approval from OMB to designate this existing collection of information
(OMB Control No. 3235-0102) 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.'')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulation 14D (17 CFR 240.14d-1 through 240.14d-11) and Regulation
14E (17 CFR 240.14e-1 through 240.14e-8) and related Schedule 14D-9 (17
CFR 240.14d-101) require information intended to help security holders
determine how to respond to tender offers. The information required by
Schedule 14D-9 is mandatory, and Schedule 14D-9 filings are publicly
available on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system. We estimate that Schedule 14D-9 is filed
once per year by approximately 54 respondents, for a total of
approximately 54 responses annually. We estimate that respondents incur
65.14 burden hours per Form 10-K response, for a total annual reporting
burden of 3,518 hours (65.14 burden hours per response x 54 responses).
We estimate that respondents incur $117,252 cost burden per Schedule
14D-9 response, for a total annual cost burden of $6,331,608 ($117,252
cost burden per response x 54 responses).
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 OMB control number.
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.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
