SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

[[Page 15225]]

Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension: Regulations 14D and 14E, OMB Control No. 3235-0102, SEC 
File No. 270-114 Schedule 14D-9.

    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 the request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    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. This information is made 
available to the public. Information provided on Schedule 14D-9 is 
mandatory. 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 x 
600 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 e-mail to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: March 13, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
