SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-114, OMB Control No. 3235-0102]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Tender 
Offer--Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E, Schedule 14D-9

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 this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Regulation 14D (17 CFR 240.14d-1--240.14d-11) and Regulation 14E 
(17 CFR 240.14e-1--240.14e-8) and related Schedule 14D-9 (17 CFR 
240.14d-101) require information important to security holders in 
deciding how to respond to tender offers. Schedule 14D-9 takes 
approximately 260.56 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 63 companies annually. We estimate that 25% of the 260.56 
hours per response (65.14 hours) is prepared by the company for an 
annual reporting burden of 4,104 hours (65.14 hours per response x 63 
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 not 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 January 10, 2024 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: December 6, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
