SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form F-4; OMB Control No. 3235-0325; SEC File No. 270-288

    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 the 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 
intended to ensure that the information required to be filed by the 
Commission permits verification of compliance with securities law 
requirements and assures the public availability of such information. 
The information provided is mandatory and all information is made 
available to the public upon request. Form F-4 takes approximately 
1,447 hours per response and is filed by approximately 68 respondents. 
We estimate that 25% of the 166 hours per response (361.75 hours) is 
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 
24,599 hours (361.75 hours per response x 68 responses). The remaining 
75% of the burden hours is attributed to outside cost.
    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 control number.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to 
Alexander_T._Hunt@omb.eop.gov and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief Information 

Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an e-mail 
to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: November 26, 2007.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.
