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.

Extensions:
    Form 6-K; OMB Control No. 3235-0116, SEC File No. 270-107.

    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 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) elicits material information from foreign 
private issuers of publicly traded securities promptly after the 
occurrence of specified or other important corporate events so that 
investors have current information upon which to base investment 
decisions. 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. Form 6-K is a public document and all 
information provided is mandatory. Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7 
hours per response and is filed by approximately 12,022 issuers 
annually. We estimate 75% of the 8.7 hours per response (6.525 hours) 
is prepared by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 78,444 
hours (6.525 hours per response x 12,022 responses). The remaining 
burden hours are reflected as a cost to the foreign private issuers.
    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: December 17, 2007.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
