BILLING CODE 3271-F1-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [SEC File No. 270-335, OMB Control No. 3235-0381] 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 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”) 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 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. 78 *l* ) 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 431.42 hours per response and is filed by approximately 132 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 429.93 hours per response (107.855 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total reporting burden of 14,237 (107.855 hours per response × 132 responses). Written comments are invited on:
(a)Whether the 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 John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: *PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.* Dated: November 1, 2021. J. Matthew DeLesDernier, Assistant Secretary. [FR Doc. 2021-24138 Filed 11-4-21; 8:45 am]
