SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form F-6;
    SEC File No. 270-270, OMB Control No. 3235-0292.

    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-6 (17 CFR 239.36) is a form used by foreign companies to 
register the offer and sale of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) 
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form F-6 
requires disclosure of information regarding the terms of the 
depository bank, fees charged, and a description of the ADRs. No 
special information regarding the foreign company is required to be 
prepared or disclosed, although the foreign company must be one which 
periodically furnishes information to the Commission. The information 
is needed to ensure that investors in ADRs have full disclosure of 
information concerning the deposit agreement and the foreign company. 
Form F-6 takes approximately 1.35 hour per response to prepare and is 
filed by 525 respondents annually. We estimate that 25% of the 1.35 
hour per response (0.338 hours) is prepared by the filer for a total 
annual reporting burden of 177 hours (0.338 hours per response x 525 
responses).
    The information provided on Form F-6 is mandatory to best ensure 
full disclosure of ADRs being issued in the U.S. All information 
provided to the

Commission is available for public review upon request.
    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) Pamela Dyson, Acting 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: December 11, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
