SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-104, OMB Control No. 3235-0119]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Securities
Exchange Act 1934--Rule 12g3-2
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.
Rule 12g3-2 (17 CFR 240.12g3-2) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') provides an exemption from Section 12(g)
of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78l(g)) for foreign private issuers.
Rule 12g3-2 is designed to provide investors in foreign securities with
information about such securities and the foreign issuer. The
information filed under Rule 12g3-2 must be filed with the Commission
and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes 8.95 hours per
response to prepare and is filed by approximately 1,386 respondents.
Each respondent files an estimated 12 times submissions pursuant to
Rule 12g3-2 per year for a total of 16,632 respondents. We estimate
that 25% of 8.95 hours per response (2.237 hours per response) to
provide the information required under Rule 12g3-2 for a total annual
reporting burden of 37,206 hours (2.237 hours per response x 16,632
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 June 14, 2024.

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.
