SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0256]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Form F-3 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 for extension and approval.
Form F-3 (17 CFR 239.33) is used by foreign issuers to register
securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.). The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of
information available to investors in connection with securities
offerings. The information required by Form F-3 is mandatory, and Form
F-3 is publicly available on the Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system. We estimate that
Form F-3 takes approximately 153.42 hours per response and is filed
once per year by approximately 236 issuers, for a total of
approximately 236 responses annually. We estimate that 25% of the
153.42 hours per response is carried internally by the issuer for
annual reporting burden of 9,052 hours ((25% x 153.42 hours per
response) x 236 responses). We estimate that 75% of the 153.42 hours
per response is carried externally by outside professionals retained by
the issuer at an estimated rate of $600 per hour for a total annual
cost burden of $16,293,204 ((75% x 153.42 hours per response) x $600
per hour x 236 responses).
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
