SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-456, OMB Control No. 3235-0515]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Schedule TO

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    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 the request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Schedule TO (17 CFR 240.14d-100) must be filed by a reporting 
company that makes a tender offer for its own securities. Also, persons 
other than the reporting company making a tender offer for equity 
securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 
78l) (which offer, if consummated, would cause that person to own over 
5% of that class of the securities) must file Schedule TO. The purpose 
of Schedule TO is to improve communications between public companies 
and investors before companies file registration statements involving 
tender offer statements. Schedule TO takes approximately 44.752 hours 
per response and is filed by approximately 1,378 issuers annually. We 
estimate that 50% of the 44.752 hours per response (22.376 hours) is 
prepared by the issuer for an annual reporting burden of 30,834 hours 
(22.376 hours per response x 1,378 responses). An agency may 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 background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
by July 31, 2023 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) 
David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549, or by sending an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: June 23, 2023.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
