          - [SEC File No. 270-137, OMB Control No. 3235-0145]

*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.                

                    Schedules 13D and 13G (17 CFR 240.13d-101 and 240.13d-102) are filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(d) and 78m(g)) (“Exchange Act”) and Regulations 13D and 13G (17 CFR 240.13d-1—240.13d-7) thereunder to report beneficial ownership of equity securities registered under Section 12 (15 U.S.C. 78*l*) of the Exchange Act. Regulations 13D and 13G provide investors, the subject issuers, and market participants with information about the accumulation of equity securities that may have the potential to change or influence control of an issuer. Schedules 13D and 13G are filed by persons, including small entities, to report their ownership of more than 5% of a class of equity securities registered under Section 12.                

We estimate that it takes approximately 14.5 burden hours to prepare a Schedule 13D and it is filed by approximately 1,508 filers. In addition, we estimate that 25% of the 14.5 hours per response (3.625 hours per response) is carried internally by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 5,467 hours (3.625 hours per response × 1,508 responses).

We estimate that it takes approximately 12.4 hours per response to prepare a Schedule 13G and it is filed by approximately 7,079 filers. In addition, we estimate 25% of the 12.4 hours per response (3.1 hours per response) is carried internally by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 21,945 hours (3.1 hours per response × 7,079 responses),

                    The Schedules combined are filed by 8,587 filers and they take approximately 12.769 hours per response. In addition,                           ( print page 73925)                        we estimate 25% of the 12.769 (3.19225 hours per response) is carried internally by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 27,412 hours (3.1923 hours per response × 8,587 responses). The estimated burden hours are made solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and forms.                

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 November 27, 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:                     *PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.*
