BILLING CODE 8011-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [OMB Control No. 3235-0404] Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-80—Canadian Securities *Upon Written Request, Copies Available From:* Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736 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-80 (17 CFR 239.41) is a registration form used by certain large, publicly traded Canadian issuers to register securities to be issued in an exchange offer or in connection with a business combination requiring the vote of shareholders of the participating companies. The information collected is intended to provide U.S. investors in relevant Canadian securities with material information concerning the registered securities and the Canadian foreign private issuer(s) so that investors can make informed voting and investment decisions.
We estimate that Form F-80 takes approximately 2 hours per response and is filed by approximately 4 respondents annually. The estimated burden of 2 hours per response is based upon the amount of time necessary to compile the registration statement using the existing Canadian disclosure document(s) plus any additional information required by the Commission. We estimate that 100% of the burden is carried by outside professionals retained by the company to assist in the preparation of the form, and thus that 0% of the burden is carried out internally by the company.
We estimate a cost of $600 per hour for outside professionals used in connection with public company reporting. Based on our estimates, we calculate a total annual reporting burden of zero hours ((2 hours per response × 0%) × 4 responses annually) and a total annual cost burden of $4,800 ($600 per hour × (2 hours per response × 100%) × 4 responses annually). 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 by June 9, 2025. 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 OMB control number. Please direct your written comment to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: *PaperworkReductionAct@sec.gov* . Dated: April 2, 2025. Sherry R. Haywood, Assistant Secretary. [FR Doc. 2025-05990 Filed 4-7-25; 8:45 am]
