SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-156, OMB Control No. 3235-0288]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Extension: Form 20-F
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 20-F (17 CFR 249.220f) is used to register securities of
foreign private issuers pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l) or as annual
and transitional reports pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and 78o(d)). The information required in
the Form 20-F is used by investors in making investment decisions with
respect to the securities of such foreign private issuers. We estimate
that Form 20-F takes approximately 2,629.689 hours per response and is
filed by approximately 729 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the
2,629.689 hours per response (657.422 hours) is prepared by the issuer
for a total reporting burden of 479,261 (657.422 hours per response x
729 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:
