SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736

Extension: Rule 13e-1
    SEC File No. 270-255, OMB Control No. 3235-0305
    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.
    Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (U.S.C. 78 et seq.) makes it unlawful for an issuer who has 
received notice that it is the subject of a tender offer made under 
Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act to purchase any of its equity 
securities during the tender offer, unless it first files a statement 
with the Commission containing information required by the rule. This 
rule is in keeping with the Commission's statutory responsibility to 
prescribe rules and regulations that are necessary for the protection 
of investors. Public companies are the respondents. We estimate that it 
takes approximately 10 burden hours per response to provide the 
information required under Rule 13e-1 and that the information is filed 
by approximately 10 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 10 hours 
per response (2.5 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual 
reporting burden of 25 hours (2.5 hours per response x 10 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: 
[email protected]; and (ii) 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: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: May 12, 2016.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
