SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-288, OMB Control No. 3235-0325]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Extension: Form F-4
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 plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Form F-4 (17 CFR 239.34) is used by foreign issuers to register
securities in business combinations, reorganizations and exchange
offers pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.).
The information collected is
[[Page 47797]]
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-4 takes approximately 1,437.948 hours per response and is filed
by approximately 39 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 1,437.948
hours per response (359.487 hours) is prepared by the registrant for a
total annual reporting burden of 14,020 hours (359.487 hours per
response x 39 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 by October 3, 2022.
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 David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

Deputy Secretary.
