SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; 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: Form F-1, SEC File No. 270-249, OMB Control No. 3235-0258
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 F-1 (17 CFR 239.31) is used by certain foreign private issuers
to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The information collected is intended to ensure
that the information required to be filed by the Commission permits
verification of compliance with securities law requirements and assures
the public availability of such information. Form F-1 takes
approximately 1,709 hours per response and is filed by approximately 63
respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 1,709 hours per response
(427.25 hours) is prepared by the registrant for a total annual
reporting burden of 26,917 hours (427.25 hours per response x 63
responses).
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. 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: June 1, 2016.
Brent J. Fields,
Secretary.
