SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0325]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-4--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-4 (17 CFR 239.34) is used by foreign issuers to register
securities in business combinations, reorganizations and exchange
offers pursuant to federal securities laws pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a, et seq.). The information collected is
[[Page 13656]]
intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors
in connection with business combination transactions. The information
required by Form F-4 is mandatory, and Form F-4 is publicly available
on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval
(``EDGAR'') system. We estimate that Form F-4 takes approximately
1,435.79 hours per response and is filed by approximately 60
respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 1,435.79 hours per response
(358.95 hours) is carried internally by the registrant for a total
annual reporting burden of 21,537 hours (358.95 hours per response x 60
responses). We estimate that 75% of the 1,435.79 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
$38,766,330 ($600 per hour x (75% x 1,435.79 total burden hours per
response) x 60 responses 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.
