SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-251, OMB Control No. 3235-0256]


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-3

    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-3 (17 CFR 239.33) is used by foreign issuers to register 
securities 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-3 takes approximately 157.84 
hours per response and is filed by approximately 113 respondents. We 
estimate that 25% of the 157.84 hours per response (39.46 hours) is 
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 4,459 
hours (39.46 hours per response x 113 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.
    Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia 
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: September 14, 2021.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
