ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 215 / Tuesday, November 7, 2006 / Notices
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
approval.
Rule 14f–1 (17 CFR 240.14f–1)
requires issuers to disclose a change in
a majority of the directors of the issuer.
The information filed under Rule 14f–1
must be filed with the Commission and
is publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately 18 burden hours to
provide the information required under
Rule 14f–1 and that the information is
filed by 44 respondents for a total
annual reporting burden of 792 hours.
Rule 12g3–2 (17 CFR 240.12g3–2)
provides an exemption from Section
12(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 781(g)) for
foreign private issuers. Rule 12g3–2 is
designed to provide investors in foreign
securities with information about such
securities and the foreign issuer. The
information filed under Rule 12g3–2
must be filed with the Commission and
is publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately one hour to provide
the information required under Rule
12g3–2 and that the information is filed
by 1,800 foreign issuers for a total
annual reporting burden of 1,800 hours.
Rule 13e–1 (17 CFR 240.13e–1) 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 Act (15 U.S.C. 78n(d)(1))
and which has commenced under Rule
14d–2 (17 CFR 240.14d–2) 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 filed under Rule 13e–
1 must be filed with the Commission
and is publicly available. We estimate
that it takes approximately 10 burden
hours per response to provide the
information required under Rule 13e–1
and that the information is filed by 20
respondents. We estimate that 25% of
the 10 hours per response (2.5 hours) is
prepared by the company for a total
annual reporting burden of 50 hours (2.5
hours per response × 20 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether these proposed collections of
information are necessary for the
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

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.

comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
