Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

Extension:
    Regulations 14D and 14E, Schedule 14D-9

    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--240.14f-1) and related Schedule 14D-9 (17 CFR 
240.14d-101) require information important to security holders in 
deciding how to respond to tender offers. This information is made 
available to the public. Information provided on Schedule 14D-9 is 
mandatory. Schedule 14D-9 takes approximately 260.56 hours per response 
to prepare and is filed by 169 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 11,009 hours (65.14 hours per 
response x 169 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 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 
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Cynthia Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by 
sending an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: October 22, 2020.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
