SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0378, SEC File No. 270-332]


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-8.

    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-8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be used to register securities of 
certain Canadian issuers under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 
77a et seq.) that will be used in an exchange offer or business 
combination. 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. We 
estimate that Form F-8 takes approximately one hour per response to 
prepare and is filed by approximately 10 respondents. We estimate that 
25% of one hour per response (15 minutes) is prepared by the company 
for a total annual reporting burden of 3 hours (15 minutes/60 minutes 
per response x 10 responses = 2.5 hours rounded to 3 hours).
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (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 by sending an email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: February 4, 2013.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
