SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0258]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-1--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-1 (17 CFR 239.31) is used by certain foreign private 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-1 is
mandatory, and Form F-1 is publicly available on the Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system.
We estimate that Form F-1 takes approximately 1,610.36 hours per
response and is filed once per year by approximately 270 respondents,
for a total of approximately 270 responses annually. We estimate that
25% of the 1,610.36 hours per response is carried internally by the
issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 108,699 hours ((1,610.36
hours per response x 25%) x 270 responses). We estimate that 75% of the
1,610.36 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 $195,658,740 ((75% x 1,610.36
hours per response) x $600 per hour x 270 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.
