Form 15F (17 CFR 249.324) is filed by a foreign private issuer when terminating its Exchange Act reporting PO 00000 Frm 00108 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 87637 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. The information provided to the Commission is mandatory and all information is made available to the public upon request. We estimate that Form 15F takes approximately 30 hours to prepare and is filed by approximately 30 foreign private 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).

    Form 15F, SEC File No. 270-559, OMB Control No. 3235-0621

    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 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. 
The information provided to the Commission is mandatory and all 
information is made available to the public upon request. We estimate 
that Form 15F takes approximately 30 hours to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 30 foreign private 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 x 30 responses).
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (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
