SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0116]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Extension: Form 6-K--Exchange Act Rules 13a-16 and 
15d-16

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 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the 
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to 
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Form 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be 
filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information 
promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporate 
events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer's home country. 
The purpose of Form 6-K is to ensure that U.S. investors have access to 
the same information that foreign investors do when making investment 
decisions. We estimate that Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7 total 
hours per response to comply with the form's information collection 
requirements and is filed approximately 21.29 times per year by 
approximately 1,261 respondents, for a total of approximately 26,848 
responses per year. We estimate that 75% of the 8.7 hours per response 
is carried internally by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden 
of 175,183 hours (8.7 total hours per response x 75% x 26,848 responses 
annually). We estimate that 25% of the 8.7 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 
$35,036,640 (8.7 total hours per response x 25% x $600 per hour x 
26,848 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.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection 
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5707362732252038253c0532332234233e38391634231724323479303821"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="114170617463667e637a437475647265787e7f507265516274723f767e67">[email&#160;protected]</span></a> by August 7, 2026. There will be a second 
opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal 
Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

    Dated: June 3, 2026.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
