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 2,629.92 hours per response and is
filed by approximately 729 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the
2,629.92 hours per response (657.48 hours) is prepared by the issuer
for a total reporting burden of 479,303 (657.48 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 September 5,
2023.
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:
