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

    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. 78l) 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 x 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 x 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 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: December 16, 2016.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
