Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-02736.
Extension:
Form 18-K, SEC File No. 270-108, OMB Control No. 3235-0120.
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.
Form 18-K (17 CFR 249.318) is an annual report form used by foreign
governments or political subdivisions of foreign governments that have
securities listed on a United States exchange. The information to be
collected is intended to ensure the adequacy and public availability of
information available to investors. We estimate that Form 18-K takes
approximately 8 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 35
[[Page 8551]]
respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 280 hours (8 hours
per response x 35 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the 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: February 16, 2016.

Secretary.
