Form 8–A; OMB Control No. 3235–0056,

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 8–A (17 CFR 249.208a) is a
registration statement used to register a
class of securities under Section 12(b) or
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g))
(‘‘Exchange Act’’). Section 12(a) (15
U.S.C. 78l(a)) of the Exchange Act
makes it unlawful for any member,
broker, or dealer to effect any
transaction in any security (other than
an exempted security) on a national
securities exchange unless such security
has been registered under the Exchange
Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Exchange
Act Section 12(b) establishes the
registration procedures. Exchange Act
Section 12(g) requires an issuer that is
not a bank or bank holding company to
register a class of equity securities (other
than exempted securities) within 120
days after its fiscal year end if, on the
last day of its fiscal year, the issuer has
total assets of more than $10 million
and the class of equity securities is
‘‘held of record’’ by either (i) 2,000
persons, or (ii) 500 persons who are not
accredited investors. An issuer that is a
bank or a bank holding company, must
register a class of equity securities (other
than exempted securities) within 120

days after the last day of its first fiscal
year ended after the effective date of the
JOBS Act if, on the last day of its fiscal
year, the issuer has total assets of more
than $10 million and the class of equity
securities is ‘‘held of record’’ by 2,000
or more persons. Form 8–A takes
approximately 3 hours to prepare and is
filed by approximately 946 respondents
for a total annual reporting burden of
2,838 hours (3 hours per response × 946
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this 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.

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit an extension for this
current collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
approval.
In Release No. 34–64545,1 the
Commission adopted rules (‘‘Rules’’)
and forms to implement Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
entitled ‘‘Securities Whistleblower
Incentives and Protection,’’ which was
created by Section 922 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’).2
The Rules describe the whistleblower
program that the Commission has
established pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
Act which requires the Commission to
pay an award, subject to certain
limitations and conditions, to
whistleblowers who voluntarily provide
the Commission with original
information about a violation of the
federal securities laws that leads to the
successful enforcement of a covered
judicial or administrative action, or of a
related action. The Rules define certain
terms critical to the operation of the
whistleblower program, outline the
procedures for applying for awards and
the Commission’s procedures for
making decisions on claims, and
generally explain the scope of the
whistleblower program to the public
and to potential whistleblowers.
Form TCR is a form submitted by
whistleblowers who wish to provide
information to the Commission and its
staff regarding potential violations of the
securities laws. Form TCR is required
for submission of information under the
Rules. The Commission estimates that it
takes a whistleblower, on average, one
and one-half hours to complete Form
TCR. Based on the receipt of 3,120
annual responses on average for the past
two fiscal years,3 the Commission
estimates that the annual PRA burden of
Form TCR is 4,680 hours.
Form WB–APP is a form that is
submitted by whistleblowers filing a
claim for a whistleblower award. Form
WB–APP is required for application for
an award under the Rules. The
Commission estimates that it takes a
whistleblower, on average, two hours to

complete Form WB–APP. The
completion time depends largely on the
complexity of the alleged violation and
the amount of information the
whistleblower possesses in support of
his or her application for an award.
Based on the receipt of 53 annual
responses on average for the past two
fiscal years, the Commission estimates
that the annual PRA burden of Form
WB–APP is 106 hours.
Estimated annual reporting burden =
4,786 hours.

Form F–10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a
registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) that may be used by a foreign
private issuer that: is incorporated or
organized in Canada; has been subject
to, and in compliance with, Canadian
reporting requirements for at least 12
months; and has an aggregate market
value of common stock held by nonaffiliates of at least $75 million. The
purpose of this information collection is
to permit verification of compliance
with securities law requirements and
assure the public availability of such
information. We estimate that Form
F–10 takes 25 hours per response and is
filed by 40 respondents. We further
estimate that 25% of the 25 hours per
response (6.25 hours) is prepared by the
issuer for an annual reporting burden of
250 hours (6.25 hours per response × 40
responses).
