SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. 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 
the request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 13e-3 and Schedule 13E-3 (17 CFR 240.13e-3 and 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 information concerning going private transactions that 
is important in determining how to respond to such transactions. 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 
600 issuers annually and it takes approximately 137.25 hours per 
response. We estimate that 25% of the 137.25 hours per response is 
prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 20,588 
hours.
    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.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (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 send an e-mail to: 
Alexander_T._Hunt@omb.eop.gov.; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief Information
