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 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 (``OMB'') the request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be 
filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information 
promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporate 
events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer's home country. 
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 20,812 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 135,798 hours (6.525 hours per 
response x 20,812 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 OMB 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, Chief Information Officer, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: March 18, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
