SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 13e-3 (Schedule 13E-3); OMB Control No. 3235-0007, SEC File 
No. 270-1.

    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 (``OMB'') the request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 13e-3 (17 CFR 240.13e-3) and Schedule 13E-3 (17 CFR 240.13e-
100)--Rule 13e-3 prescribes the filing, disclosure and dissemination 
requirements in connection with a going private transaction by an 
issuer or an affiliate. Schedule 13E-3 provides shareholders and the 
marketplace with material information concerning a going private 
transaction. The information collected permits verification of 
compliance with securities laws requirements and ensures the public 
availability and dissemination of the collected information. This 
information is made available to the public. Information provided on 
Schedule 13E-3 is mandatory. We estimate that Schedule 13E-3 is filed 
by approximately 100 issuers annually and it takes approximately 137.42 
hours per response. We estimate that 25% of the 137.42 hours per 
response is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden 
of 3,436 hours (34.36 hours per response x 100 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 OMB control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, 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. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: March 21, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
