SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0378]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-8-
Registration Statement
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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Form F-8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be used by certain Canadian issuers
for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) (``Securities Act'') in connection with exchange offers and
certain business combinations. Form F-8 provides investors with
information important to investment decision making while also
promoting capital formation by reducing the cost and increasing the
efficiency of Securities Act registration in connection with exchange
offers and business combination transactions, which may encourage
Canadian issuers to extend exchange offers and business combinations to
U.S. securityholders. We estimate that Form F-8 takes approximately one
hour per response to prepare and is filed by approximately one
respondent annually. We estimate that 25% of the collection of
information burden is carried by the issuer. For total paperwork burden
hours, where our calculations produced a number less than one, we have
used an estimate of one for total burden hours. We estimate a total
annual reporting burden of one hour (.25 hours x 1 response annually =
.25 hours, rounded to 1 hour). We estimate that 75% of the one hour per
response (.75 hours) is carried by outside professionals retained by
the issuer at an estimated cost of $600 per hour, for a total annual
cost burden of $450 (.75 hours per response x $600 per hour x 1
response 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 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.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to
