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 40-F

    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 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to 
register a class of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l) or 
as 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 in the Form 
40-F is used by investors in making investment decisions with respect 
to the securities of such Canadian companies. We estimate that Form 40-
F takes approximately 429.93 hours per response and is filed by 
approximately 132 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 429.93 hours 
per response (107.48 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total 
reporting burden of 14,187 (107.48 hours per response x 132 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following website, 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: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace 
Kenner, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: September 7, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
