SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0404]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-80--
Canadian Securities
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 F-80 (17 CFR 239.41) is a registration form used by certain
large, publicly traded Canadian issuers to register securities to be
issued in an exchange offer or in connection with a business
combination requiring the vote of shareholders of the participating
companies. The information collected is intended to provide U.S.
investors in relevant Canadian securities with material information
concerning the registered securities and the Canadian foreign private
issuer(s) so that investors can make informed voting and investment
decisions.
We estimate that Form F-80 takes approximately 2 hours per response
and is filed by approximately 4 respondents annually. The estimated
burden of 2 hours per response is based upon the amount of time
necessary to compile the registration statement using the existing
Canadian disclosure document(s) plus any additional information
required by the Commission. We estimate that 100% of the burden is
carried by outside professionals retained by the company to assist in
the preparation of the form, and thus that 0% of the burden is carried
out internally by the company. We estimate a cost of $600 per hour for
outside professionals used in connection with public company reporting.
Based on our estimates, we
[[Page 15194]]
calculate a total annual reporting burden of zero hours ((2 hours per
response x 0%) x 4 responses annually) and a total annual cost burden
of $4,800 ($600 per hour x (2 hours per response x 100%) x 4 responses
annually).
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 9, 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 OMB 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 email to:
