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.
    The public may view and comment on this information collection
