SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.
Extension:
    Schedule 14D-9F, OMB Control No. 3235-0382, SEC File No. 270-339.

    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 for extension and approval.
    Schedule 14D-9F (17 CFR 240.14d-103) under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78 et seq.) is used by any foreign private 
issuer incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada or by any 
director or officer of such issuer, where the issuer is the subject of 
a cash tender or exchange offer for a class of securities filed on 
Schedule 14D-1F. The information required to be filed with the 
Commission is intended to permit verification of compliance with the 
securities law requirements and assures the public availability of such 
information. We estimate that 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 
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or 
send an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: November 19, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
