SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Regulations 13D and 13G; Schedules 13D and 13G. OMB Control No. 
3235-0145, SEC File No. 270-137.

    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 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 1,777 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 6,422 hours (3.625 hours per response 
x 1,777 responses).
    We estimate that Schedule 13G takes approximately 12.4 hours to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 6,882 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 21,334 hours (3.10 hours 
per response x 6,882 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 240.06 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 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, D.C. 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, D.C. 20549 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: December 10, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
