SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; 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-4 OMB Control No. 3235-0325, SEC File No. 270-288

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form F-4 (17 CFR 239.34) is used by foreign issuers to register 
securities in business combinations, reorganizations and exchange 
offers pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). 
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. Form F-4 takes approximately 1,457 
hours per response and is filed by approximately 39 respondents. We 
estimate that 25% of the 1,457 hours per response (364.25 hours) is 
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 
14,206 hours (364.25 hours per response x 39 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will 
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 
days of this publication.
    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.
