SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0256]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; 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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
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.
