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.
    The public may view and comment on this information collection 
request at: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202508-3235-007">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202508-3235-007</a> or send an email comment to

Assistant Secretary.
