    Regulations 13D and 13G; Schedules 13D and 13G

    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.

    Schedules 13D and 13G (17 CFR 240.13d-101 and 240.13d-102) are filed pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) (15 U.S.C. 78m(d) and 78m(g)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Regulations 13D and 13G (17 CFR 240.13d-1-240.13d-7) thereunder to report beneficial ownership of equity securities registered under Section 12 (15 U.S.C. 78 l) of the Exchange Act. Regulations 13D and 13G provide investors, and the subject issuer with information about accumulations of equity securities that may have the potential to change or influence control of the issuer. Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G are filed by persons, including small entities, to report their ownership of more than 5% of a class of equity securities registered under Section 12. We estimate that Schedule 13D takes approximately 14.5 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 1,508 filers. We estimate that 25% of the 14.5 hours (3.625 hours per response) is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 5,467 hours (3.625 hours per response × 1,508 responses).

    We estimate that Schedule 13G takes approximately 12.4 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 7,079 filers. We estimate that 25% of the 12.4 hours (3.10 hours per response) is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 21,945 hours (3.10 hours per response × 7,079 responses).

    The information provided by respondents is mandatory. Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G is filed by a respondent only when necessary. All information provided to the Commission is public. However, Rules 0-6 and 24b-2 (17 CFR 240.0-6 and 240.24b-2) under the Exchange Act do permit reporting persons to request confidential treatment for certain sensitive information concerning national security, trade secrets, or privileged commercial or financial information.

    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.
