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:
    Form CB; OMB Control No. 3235-0518, SEC File No. 270-457.

    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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Form CB (17 CFR 239.800) is a Document filed in connection with a 
tender offer for a foreign private issuer. This form is used to report 
an issuer tender offer conducted in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 
13e-4(h)(8) (17 CFR 240.13e-4(h)(8)) and a third-party tender offer 
conducted in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(c) (17 CFR 
240.14d-1(c)). Form CB takes approximately 0.5 hours per response to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 200 respondents annually. We 
estimate that 25% of the 0.5 hours per response (0.125 hours) is 
prepared by the respondent for an annual reporting burden of 25 hours 
(0.125 hours per response x 200 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the 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.
    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 OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comment to 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].

    Dated: March 7, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
