75% of the burden hours is attributed to
outside cost.
Form F–8 (17 CFR 239.38) may be
used to register under the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) securities
of certain Canadian issuers to be used in
exchange offers or business
combinations. 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–8 takes approximately one hour per
response to prepare and is filed by 10
respondents. We estimate that 25% of
one hour per response (15 minutes) is
prepared by the company for a total
annual reporting burden of 3 hours (15
minutes/60 minutes per response × 10
responses = 2.5 hours rounded to 3
hours). The remaining 75% of the
burden hours is attributed to outside
cost.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether these proposed 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 collection of
information collection 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
to R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley
Martinson 6432 General Green Way,
Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an
e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for an extension of
the previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Rule 11a–2 Under the
Investment Company Act of 1940: Offers
of Exchange by Certain Registered
Separate Accounts or Others the Terms
of Which Do Not Require Prior
Commission Approval.’’
Rule 11a–2 (17 CFR 270.11a–2) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) permits certain
registered insurance company separate
accounts, subject to certain conditions,
to make exchange offers without prior
approval by the Commission of the
terms of those offers. Rule 11a–2
requires disclosure, in certain
registration statements filed pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a
et seq.) of any administrative fee or sales
load imposed in connection with an
exchange offer.
There are currently 736 registrants
governed by Rule 11a–2. The
Commission includes the estimated
burden of complying with the
information collection required by Rule
11a–2 in the total number of burden
hours estimated for completing the
relevant registration statements and
reports the burden of Rule 11a–2 in the
separate PRA submissions for those
registration statements (see the separate
PRA submissions for Form N–3 (17 CFR
274.11b), Form N–4 (17 CFR 274.11c)
and Form N–6 (17 CFR 274.11d). The
Commission is requesting a burden of
one hour for Rule 11a–2 for
administrative purposes.
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not
derived from a comprehensive or even
a representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules or forms.
With regard to Rule 11a–2, the
Commission includes the estimate of
burden hours in the total number of
burden hours estimated for completing
the relevant registration statements and
reported on the separate PRA
submissions for those statements (see
the separate PRA submissions for Form
N–3, Form N–4 and Form N–6).
