    Form F-X, OMB Control No. 3235-0379, SEC File No. 270-336.

    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-X (17 CFR 239.42) is used to appoint an agent for service of 
process by Canadian issuers registering securities on Form F-7, F-8, F-
9 or F-10 under the Securities Act of 1933 (U.S.C. 77a et seq.), or 
filing periodic reports on Form 40-F under the Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The information collected must be filed with the 
Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes

annual reporting burden of 322 hours (2 hours per response x 161 
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,
