Summary

The SEC published a notice requesting public comments on extending OMB Control No. 3235-0059, covering Regulation 14A (Commission Rules 14a-1 through 14a-21 and Schedule 14A). The notice invites feedback on the information collection burden associated with proxy-related disclosure requirements. Comments are being sought as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act process.

What changed

The SEC published a Federal Register notice requesting comments on extending the information collection requirements under Regulation 14A (OMB Control No. 3235-0059). Regulation 14A governs proxy statements and shareholder communication rules for public companies. This is a standard Paperwork Reduction Act notice seeking public input on the burden estimates for compliance with existing disclosure requirements.

Public companies subject to SEC proxy disclosure requirements may wish to review their current compliance burden and submit comments on the information collection. The extension relates to Rules 14a-1 through 14a-21 and Schedule 14A, which cover proxy statement filings and shareholder proposal procedures.

  1. [OMB Control No. 3235-0059] Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736

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 also is requesting approval from OMB to designate this existing collection of information (OMB Control No. 3235-0059) as a “common form” for purposes of PRA submissions [1 ] because the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System uses this information collection (under OMB Control No. 7100-0091). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval.

Regulation 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-1 through 14a-21) and Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101) set forth the requirements for the dissemination, content, and filing of proxy or consent solicitation materials in connection with annual or other meetings of holders of a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Those rules and schedule are intended to ensure that investors have the information necessary to enable them to vote in an informed manner. We estimate that Schedule 14A takes approximately 180.12 hours per response and is filed once per year by approximately 6,043 respondents, for a total of approximately 6,043 responses annually. We estimate that 75% of the 180.12 hours per response is carried internally by the respondent for annual reporting burden of 816,349 hours ((75%× 180.12 hours per response) × 6,043 responses). We estimate that 25% of the 180.12 hours per response is carried externally by outside professionals retained by the respondent at an estimated rate of $600 per hour for a total annual cost burden of $163,269,774 ((25% × 180.12 hours per response) × $600 per hour × 6,043 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 OMB control number.

Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this 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.

Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to PaperworkReductionAct@sec.gov by June 12, 2026. There will be a second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

Dated: April 8, 2026.

Sherry R. Haywood,

Assistant Secretary.

                     ROCIS PRA Module User Guide v. 8.2, at 110-111 (Mar. 2024), available at *[https://www.rocis.gov/​rocis/​viewResources.do](https://www.rocis.gov/rocis/viewResources.do)* (“A `common form' is an information collection that can be used by two or more agencies, or government-wide, for the same purpose. The Common Forms Module [in ROCIS] allows a `host' agency to obtain [OMB] approval of an information collection for use by one or more `using' agencies. After OMB grants approval, any prospective using agency that seeks to collect identical information for the same purpose can obtain approval to use the `common form' by providing its agency-specific information to OMB *e.g.,* burden estimates and number of respondents). The host agency will indicate in the **Federal Register** notices that it is requesting approval of a common form and, if known, identify other agencies that may use the information collection. Both the **Federal Register** notices and the ICR should account only for the burden imposed by the host agency's use of the common form. Once the host agency has received approval from OMB, any agency will be able to request OMB approval for its use of the common form in ROCIS by providing its agency specific information to OMB (*e.g.,* burden estimates and number of respondents). Additional public notice by those agencies will not be required.”).
