Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 194 / Thursday, October 6, 2011 / Notices changes to Form G–346. The RRB estimates that 4,830 G–346’s will be completed annually at an estimated completion time of five minutes per response. Total respondent burden is estimated at 403 hours. In accordance with amended regulation 20 CFR 217.17, the RRB proposes the implementation of Form G–346sum. Proposed Form G–346sum, which will mirror the information collected on Form G–346, will be used when an employee, after being interviewed by an RRB field office staff member ‘‘signs’’ the form using an alternative signature method known as ‘‘attestation’’. Attestation refers to the action taken by the RRB field office employee to confirm and annotate the RRB’s records of the applicant’s affirmation under penalty of perjury that the information provided is correct and the applicant’s agreement to sign the form by proxy. The RRB estimates that 2,070 G–346sum’s will be completed annually at an estimated completion time of five minutes per response. Total respondent burden is estimated at 172 hours.

Extension: Form F–6; OMB Control No. 3235–0292; SEC File No. 270–270. 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 this request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Form F–6 (17 CFR 239.36) is a form used by foreign companies to register the offer and sale of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form F–6 requires disclosure of information regarding the terms of the depository bank, fees charged, and a description of the ADRs. No special information regarding the foreign company is required to be prepared or disclosed, although the foreign company must be one which periodically furnishes information to the Commission. The information is needed to ensure that investors in ADRs have full disclosure of information concerning the deposit agreement and the foreign company. Form F–6 takes approximately 1 hour per response to prepare and is filed by 150 respondents annually. We estimate that 25% of the 1 hour per response (.25 hours) is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 37.5 hours (.25 hours per response × 150 responses). The information provided on Form F– 6 is mandatory to best ensure full disclosure of ADRs being issued in the U.S. All information provided to the Commission is available for public review upon request. 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.
