SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submissions for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request; copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.

Extensions:
    Rule 14f-1; OMB Control No. 3235-0108; SEC File No. 270-127.
    Rule 12g3-2; OMB Control No. 3235-0119; SEC File No. 270-104.
    Rule 13e-1; OMB Control No. 3235-0305; SEC File No. 270-255.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
these requests for extension of the previously approved collections of 
information discussed below.
    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 burden of 
792.

    Rule 12g3-2 (17 CFR 240.12g3-2) provides an exemption from Section 
12(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78l(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. Public companies are the respondents. 
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 x 20 
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 control number.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to [email protected]; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-
mail to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: January 3, 2007.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
