SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0121]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 18--
Registration Form
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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
Form 18 (17 CFR 249.218) is a registration form that can be used
for by a foreign government or political subdivision thereof to
register securities for listing on a U.S. exchange. The information
collected is intended to provide U.S. investors in relevant foreign
government securities with material information concerning those
securities and the foreign government registrant so that investors can
make informed investment decisions. The information required by Form 18
is mandatory, and the information is made publicly available on EDGAR.
We estimate that Form 18 takes approximately 8 hours per response
and that approximately 5 responses are made annually. We derived our
burden hour estimate by estimating the average number of hours it would
take a foreign government or political subdivision thereof to compile
the necessary information and data, prepare and review the disclosure,
file documents, and retain records. We estimate that 100% of the burden
is carried out internally by the foreign government or political
subdivision thereof. Based on our estimates, we calculate the total
reporting burden to be 40 hours annually ((8 hours per response x 100%)
x 5 responses annually).
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.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated,
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
The public may view and comment on this information collection
