Form CB., SEC File No. 270-457, OMB Control No. 3235-0518.

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.

Form CB (17 CFR 239.800) is a document filed in connection with a tender offer for a foreign private issuer. This form is used to report an issuer tender offer conducted in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(h)(8) (17 CFR 240.13e-4(h)(8)), a third-party tender offer conducted in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(c) (17 CFR 240.14d-1(c)) and a going private transaction conducted in accordance with Rule 13e-3(g)(6) (17 CFR 240.13e-3(g)(6). Form CB is also used by a subject company pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14e-2(d) (17 CFR 240.14e-2(d)). This information is made available to the public. Information provided on Form CB is mandatory. Form CB takes approximately 0.5 hours per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 200 respondents annually. We estimate that 25% of the 0.5 hours per response (0.125 hours) is prepared by the respondent for an annual reporting burden of 25 hours (0.125 hours per response x 200 responses).

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.
