[[Page 16841]]

and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget the 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 150 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 9,771 hours (65.14 hours per 
response x 150 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 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 20, 2014.
