tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with 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 (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Regulation 14D (17 CFR 240.14d–1—
240.14d–11) and Regulation 14E (17
CFR 240.14e–1—240.14e–8) and related
Schedule 14D–9 (17 CFR 240.14d–101)
require information important to
security holders in deciding how to
respond to tender offers. Schedule 14D–
9 takes approximately 260.566 hours per
response to prepare and is filed by
approximately 600 companies annually.
We estimate that 25% of the 260.566
hours per response (65.141 hours) is
prepared by the company for an annual
reporting burden of 39,085 hours
(65.141 hours per response × 600
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the 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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
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.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 100 F Street NE., Washington,

Extension:
Form 6–K; OMB Control No. 3235–0116,
SEC File No. 270–107.
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 (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Form 6–K (17 CFR 249.306) is a
disclosure document under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be filed by
a foreign private issuer to report
material information promptly after the
occurrence of specified or other
important corporate events that are
disclosed in the foreign private issuer’s
home country. The purpose of Form 6–
K is to ensure that U.S. investors have
access to the same information that
foreign investors do when making
investment decisions. Form 6–K takes
approximately 8.7 hours per response
and is filed by approximately 20,812
issuers annually. We estimate that 75%
of the 8.7 hours per response (6.525
hours) is prepared by the issuer for a
total annual reporting burden of 135,798
hours (6.525 hours per response ×
20,812 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
