SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0378]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; 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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') this request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information discussed below.
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
[[Page 44278]]
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. The information provided is mandatory and all
information is available to the public. 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.
