Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 116 / Friday, June 17, 2005 / Notices
information that foreign investors do
when making investment decisions.
Form 6–K is a public document and all
information provided is mandatory.
Form 6–K is filed by approximately
14,661 issuers annually. We estimate
that it takes 8 hours per response to
prepare Form 6–K for a total annual
burden of 117,288 hours. We further
estimate that 367 Forms 6–K each year
require an additional 27 hours per
response to translate into English an
additional 8 pages of foreign language
text for a total of 9,909 additional
burden hours, which results in 127,197
total annual burden hours for Form 6–
K. We estimate that respondents incur
75% of the 117,288 annual burden
hours (87,966 hours) to prepare Form 6–
K and 25% of the 9,909 burden hours
(2,477 hours) to translate the additional
foreign language text into English for a
total annual reporting burden of 90,443
hours. The remaining burden hours are
reflected as a cost to the foreign private
issuers.
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.
Written comments regarding the
above information should be directed to
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer
for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102,
New Executive Office Building,

must be submitted to OMB within 30

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 collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Form 8–A is a registration statement
for certain classes of securities pursuant
to Section 12(b) and 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Section 12(a) requires securities traded
on national exchanges to be registered
under the Exchange Act. Section 12(g),
and Rule 12g–1 promulgated
thereunder, extend the Exchange Act
registration requirements to issuers
engaged in interstate commerce, or in a
business affecting interstate commerce,
and having total assets exceeding
$10,000,000 and a class of equity
security held or record by 500 or more
people. Form 8–A takes approximately
3 hours to prepare and is filed by
approximately 1,760 respondents for a
total of 5,280 annual burden hours.
Form 12b–25 provides notice to the
Commission and the marketplace that a
public company will be unable to timely
file a required periodic report. If certain
conditions are met, the company is
granted an automatic filing extension.
Form 12b–25 is filed by publicly held
companies. Form 12b–25 takes
approximately 2.5 hours to prepare and
is filed by approximately 7,799
companies for a total of 19,498 annual
burden hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether these collections of
information are 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 of the collections 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.
Please direct your written comments

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension and
approval of the collections of
information discussed below.
In Canada, as in the United States,
individuals can invest a portion of their
earnings in tax-deferred retirement
savings accounts (‘‘Canadian retirement
accounts’’). In cases where these
individuals move to the United States,
these participants (‘‘Canadian/U.S.
Participants’’ or ‘‘participants’’) may not
be able to manage their Canadian
retirement account investments. Most
securities and most investment
companies (‘‘funds’’) that are ‘‘qualified
investments’’ for Canadian retirement
accounts are not registered under the
U.S. securities laws. Those securities,
therefore, generally cannot be publicly
offered and sold in the United States
without violating the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of
1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’) 1 and, in the
case of securities of an unregistered
fund, the Investment Company Act of
1940 (‘‘Investment Company Act’’).2 As
a result of these registration
requirements of the U.S. securities laws,
Canadian/U.S. Participants, in the past,
had not been able to purchase or
exchange securities for their Canadian
retirement accounts as needed to meet
their changing investment goals or
income needs.
In 2000, the Commission issued two
rules that enabled Canadian/U.S.
Participants to manage the assets in
