permit verification of compliance with the securities law requirements 
and assures the public availability of such information. Schedule 14D-
9F takes approximately 2 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 6 respondents annually for a total reporting burden of 12 
hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
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
