SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0120]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form 18-K--
Annual Report

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 18-K (17 CFR 249.318) is an annual report form used by foreign 
governments or political subdivisions of foreign governments that have 
securitieslisted on a United States exchange. The information to be 
collected is intended to ensure the adequacy and public availability of 
information available to investors. Weestimate that Form 18-K takes 
approximately 8 hours to prepare and is filed once per year by 
approximately 37 respondents for a total annual reporting burden of296 
hours (8 hours per response x 37 responses). We estimate that there is 
no cost associated with this information collection because 100% of the 
burden is carried internally by the issuer.
    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 
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#154574657067627a677e4770716076617c7a7b547661556670763b727a63"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2d7d4c5d485f5a425f467f4849584e594442436c4e596d5e484e034a425b">[email&#160;protected]</span></a> by September 22, 2025. There will be a 
second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal 
Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

    Dated: July 17, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
