SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-107, OMB Control No. 3235-0116]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form 6-K--
Exchange Act Rules 13a-16 and 15d-16
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 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be
filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information
promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporate
events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer's home country.
The purpose of Form 6-K is to ensure that U.S. investors have access to
the same information that foreign investors do when making investment
decisions. Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7 hours per response and is
filed by approximately 34,794 issuers annually. We estimate that 75% of
the 8.7 hours per response (6.525 hours) is prepared by the issuer for
a total annual reporting burden of 227,031 hours (6.525 hours per
response x 34,794 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 23, 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:
