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”) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and
approval.
Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 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.
The information filed under Rule 13e-1 must be filed with the Commission and is publicly
available. 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).

Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
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.
Please direct your written comment to Charles Riddle, Acting Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20549 or send an e-mail to: [email protected].
