Schedule 14D– 9 takes approximately 258 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 600 companies annually. We estimate that 25% of the 258 hours per response (64.5 hours) is prepared by the company for an annual reporting burden of 38,700 hours (64.5 hours per response × 600 responses). Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether these collections of information are 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.

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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Jan 11, 2008 Jkt 214001 of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Schedule TO (17 CFR 240.14d–100) must be filed by a reporting company that makes a tender offer for its own securities. Also, persons other than the reporting company making a tender offer for equity securities registered under section 12 of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78l) (which offer, if consummated, would cause that person to own over 5% of that class of the securities) must file Schedule TO. The purpose of Schedule TO is to improve communications between public companies and investors before companies file registration statements involving tender offer statements. Schedule TO takes approximately 43.5 hours per response and is filed by approximately 2,500 issuers annually. We estimate that 50% of the 43.5 hours per response (21.75 hours) is prepared by the issuer for an annual reporting burden of 54,375 hours (21.75 hours per response × 2,500 responses). Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Amex is proposing to amend Rule 950–ANTE(h). Rule 950–ANTE(h) currently requires an option specialist to maintain minimum tentative net capital in the amount of $1,000,000 plus $25,000 for each option issue (option class) in excess of the initial twenty-five issues in which the specialist is registered. The amendment would eliminate the $25,000 add-on for each option class in excess of the initial twenty-five option classes. Amex member firms are subject to both the Amex and the Commission’s net capital rule.3 The multiple listing of options across markets, as well as quoting obligations of registered options traders, remote registered options traders, and supplemental registered options traders now provides multiple sources of liquidity in each options class, which diminishes the role and need to highly capitalize any one liquidity provider. Therefore, the benefits of requiring Amex options specialists to maintain net capital beyond the Commission’s net capital rule have been greatly reduced. Reducing the amount of capital required to be held under the Amex net capital rule also would allow options specialists to use funds previously maintained to meet Amex net capital requirements for other purposes, lowering their cost of business and helping to ensure that they can continue to function as options specialists on the Exchange. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with 3 Rule 15c3–1 under the Act (17 CFR 240.15c3– 1). Sfmt 4703 2291 E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1
