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 40-F, OMB Control No. 3235-0381, SEC File No. 270-
335.

    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 approval of extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to 
register securities pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l ) or an annual report 
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 
78m(a) or 78o(d)). The information required under cover of Form 40-F 
can be used by security holders, investors, broker-dealers, investment 
banking firms, professional securities analysts and others in 
evaluating securities and making investment decisions with respect to 
securities of certain Canadian companies. All information provided to 
the Commission is available for public review. Information provided by 
Form 40-F is mandatory. Form 40-F takes approximately 427 hours per 
response and is filed by approximately 205 respondents. We estimate 
that 25% of the 427 hours per response (106.75 hours) is prepared by 
the issuer for a total reporting burden of 21,884 (106.75 hours per 
response x 205 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 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, Office of Information Technology, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, 
VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be 
submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice

    Dated: March 13, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
