Extension
    Regulation 14C (Commission Rules 14c-1 through 14c-7 and 
Schedule 14C), SEC File No. 270-057, OMB Control No. 3235-0057

    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.
    Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 
``Exchange Act'') operates to require issuers that do not solicit 
proxies or consents from any or all of the holders of record of a class 
of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and in 
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed under Section 
14(a) in connection with a meeting of security holders (including 
action by consent) to distribute to any holders that were not solicited 
an information statement substantially equivalent to the information 
that would be required to be transmitted if a proxy or consent 
solicitation were made. Regulation 14C (Exchange Act Rules 14c-1 
through 14c-7 and Schedule 14C) (17 CFR 240.14c-1 through 240.14c-7 and 
240.14c-101) sets forth the requirements for the dissemination, content 
and filing of the information statement. We estimate that Schedule 14C 
takes approximately 130.95 hours per response and will be filed by 
approximately 569 issuers annually. In addition, we estimate that 75% 
of the 130.95 hours per response (98.21 hours) is prepared by the 
issuer for an annual reporting burden of 55,881 hours (98.21 hours per 
response x 569 responses).

    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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 comments to Pamela Dyson, 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: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: June 16, 2015.

Secretary.
