SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-270, OMB Control No. 3235-0292]
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-6.
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 approval.
Form F-6 (17 CFR 239.36) is a form used by foreign companies to
register the offer and sale of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form F-6
requires disclosure of information regarding the terms of the
depository bank, fees charged, and a description of the ADRs. No
special information regarding the foreign company is required to be
prepared or disclosed, although the foreign company must be one which
periodically furnishes information to the Commission. The information
is needed to ensure that investors in ADRs have full disclosure of
information concerning the deposit agreement and the foreign company.
Form F-6 takes approximately 1.35 hour per response to prepare and is
filed by 953 respondents annually. We estimate that 25% of the 1.35
hour per response (0.338 hours) is prepared by the filer for a total
annual reporting burden of 322 hours (0.338 hours per response x 953
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 comments 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: January 8, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
