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

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to

Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.
