SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Schedule 14N. OMB Control No. 3235-0655, SEC File No. 270-598.

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Schedule 14N (17 CFR 240.14n-101) requires the filing of certain 
information with the Commission by shareholders who submit a nominee or 
nominees for director pursuant to applicable state law, or a company's 
governing documents. Schedule 14N provides notice to the company of the 
shareholder's or shareholder group's intent to have the company include 
the shareholder's or shareholder group's nominee or nominees for 
director in the company's proxy materials. This information is intended 
to assist shareholders in making an informed voting decision with 
regards to any nominee or nominees put forth by a nominating 
shareholder or group, by allowing shareholders to gauge the nominating 
shareholder's interest in the company, longevity of ownership, and 
intent with regard to continued ownership in the company. We estimate 
that Schedule 14N takes approximately 64.77 hours per response and will 
be filed by approximately 162 issuers annually. In addition, we 
estimate that 75% of the 64.77 hours per response (48.58 hours) is 
prepared by the issuer for an annual reporting burden of 7,870 hours 
(48.58 hours per response x 162 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov . 
Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an email to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 
F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: December 10, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
