SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-255, OMB Control No. 3235-0305]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

Extension:
Rule 13e-1
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.
Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78 et seq.) makes it unlawful for an issuer who has
received notice that it is the subject of a tender offer made under
Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act to purchase any of its equity
securities during the tender offer, unless it first files a statement
with the Commission containing information required by the rule. This
rule is in keeping with the Commission's statutory responsibility to
prescribe rules and regulations that are necessary for the protection
of investors. The information filed under Rule 13e-1 must be filed with
the Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes
approximately 10 burden hours per response to provide the information
required under Rule 13e-1 and that the information is filed by
approximately 10 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 10 hours per
response (2.5 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual
reporting burden of 25 hours (2.5 hours per response x 10 responses).
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.
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.
Please direct your written comment to Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an
email to: [email protected].
Dated: June 13, 2019.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Deputy Secretary.
