SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-335, OMB Control No. 3235-0381]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form 40-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 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to
register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l) or as an annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act (15
U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The information required in the Form 40-F is
used by investors in making investment decisions with respect to the
securities of such Canadian companies. We estimate that Form 40-F takes
approximately 431.42 hours per response and that there is an average of
approximately 175 responses annually. We estimate that 25% of the
431.42 hours per response is prepared by the issuer for an internal
burden of 18,875 hours ((0.25 x 431.42) hours per response x 175
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 March 17, 2025.
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 Austin Gerig, Director/Chief
Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an e-mail to:

Secretary.
