Form S-4, OMB Control No. 3235-0324, SEC File No. 270-287
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.
[[Page 14071]]
Form S-4 (17 CFR 239.25) is the form used for registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) of securities issued
in business combinations transactions. The information collected is
intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors
in connection with business combination transactions. Form S-4 takes
approximately 4,099.68 hours per response to prepare and is filed by
400 registrants annually. We estimate that 25% of the 4,099.68 hours
per response (1,024.92 hours) is prepared by the registrant for an
annual reporting burden of 409,968 hours (1,024.92 hours per response x
400 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 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 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].
Dated: March 13, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
