The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Form 15F (17 CFR 249.324) is filed by a foreign private issuer when terminating its Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 12h–6 (17 CFR 240.12h–6). Form 15F requires a foreign private issuer to disclose information that helps investors understand the foreign private issuer’s decision to terminate its Exchange Act reporting obligations and assists the Commission staff in determining whether the filer is eligible to terminate its Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant to Rule 12h–6. Rule 12h–6 provides a process for a foreign private issuer to exit the Exchange Act registration and reporting regime when there is relatively little U.S. investor interest in its securities. Rule 12h–6 is intended to remove a disincentive for foreign private issuers to register their securities with the Commission by lessening concerns that the Exchange Act registration and reporting system would be difficult to exit once an issuer enters it. We estimate that Form 15F takes approximately 30 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 30 issuers. We estimate that 25% of the 30 hours per response (7.5 hours per response) is prepared by the filer for a total annual reporting burden of 225 hours (7.5 hours per response × 30 responses). 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.

2016), 81 FR 45580.
    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange: (1) Added a bullet point 
stating that ``[b]ecause the Exchange's rules regarding the 
production of books and records are described in Rule 440, the 
Exchange is proposing to refer to Rule 440 in its proposed rules 
wherever NYSE Arca Equities Rule 4.4 is referenced in the rules of 
NYSE Arca Equities proposed in this filing;'' (2) deleted the 
sentence stating that ``[i]f an exchange has approved trading rules, 
procedures and listing standards in place that have been approved by 
the Commission for the product class that would include a new 
derivative securities product, the listing and trading of such `new 
derivative securities product,' does not require a proposed rule 
change under Section 19b-4 of the Act'' and made conforming changes 
to the rest of that paragraph; (3) deleted the bullet point that 
stated ``[c]orrection of a typographical error in NYSE Arca Equities 
Rule 8.400(a) so that proposed Rule 8.400(a) reads `as such terms 
are used in Rule 5.1(b)' in the last sentence, rather than `as such 
terms are used in the Rule 5.1(b)' as is currently drafted in NYSE 
Arca Equities Rule 8.400(a);'' and (4) noted that ``for new ETPs to 
be traded pursuant to UTP, which are listed and traded on another 
exchange pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e), the Exchange would be required 
to file Form 19b-4(e) with the Commission in accordance with the 
requirements therein.'' Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change 
is available at: https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nyse-2016-44/nyse201644-1.pdf. Because Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule 
change does not materially alter the substance of the proposed rule 
change or raise unique or novel regulatory issues, Amendment No. 1 
is not subject to notice and comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides that, within 45 days of 
the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or 
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate 
if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its 
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization 
consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, 
disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 
45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change 
is August 28, 2016. The Commission is extending this 45-day time 
period.

it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change. 
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\6\ designates October 12, 2016, as the date by which the 
Commission should either approve or disapprove or institute proceedings 
to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File
