SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-332, OMB Control No. 3235-0378]


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-8

    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-8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be used to register securities of 
certain Canadian issuers under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 
77a et seq.) that will be used in an exchange offer or business 
combination. 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. We estimate that Form F-8 takes 
approximately one hour per response to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 5 respondents. We estimate that 25% of one hour per 
response (15 minutes) is prepared by the company for a total annual 
reporting burden of one hour (15 minutes/60 minutes per response x 5 
responses = 1.25 hours rounded to the nearest whole number one hour).
    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 Charles Riddle, Acting 
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].

    Dated: April 2, 2019.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Deputy Secretary.
