Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 227 / Monday, November 26, 2012 / Notices
(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.
Rule 13e–1 (17 CFR 240.13e–1) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
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) to purchase any
of its equity securities during the tender
offer, unless it first files a statement
with the Commission containing
information require 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
approximately 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 this proposed collection of
information is 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
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. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
