Rule 489 and Form F–N, SEC File No. 270–
361, OMB Control No. 3235–0411
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
‘‘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 (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 489 (17 CFR 230.489) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) requires foreign banks and foreign
insurance companies and holding
companies and finance subsidiaries of
foreign banks and foreign insurance
companies that are exempted from the
definition of ‘‘investment company’’ by
virtue of rules 3a–1 (17 CFR 270.3a–1),
3a–5 (17 CFR 270.3a–5), and 3a–6 (17
CFR 270.3a–6) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) to file Form F–N (17 CFR
239.43) to appoint an agent for service

of process when making a public
offering of securities in the United
States. The information is collected so
that the Commission and private
plaintiffs may serve process on foreign
entities in actions and administrative
proceedings arising out of or based on
the offer or sales of securities in the
United States by such foreign entities.
The Commission received an average
of 30 Form F–N filings from 22 unique
filers each year for the last three years
(2014–2016). The Commission has
previously estimated that the total
annual burden associated with
information collection and Form F–N
preparation and submission is one hour
per filing. Based on the Commission’s
experience with disclosure documents
generally, the Commission continues to
believe that this estimate is appropriate.
Thus the estimated total annual burden
for rule 489 and Form F–N is 30 hours.1
Estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act and are not
derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of rule 489
and Form F–N is mandatory to obtain
the benefit of the exemption. Responses
to the collection of information will not
be kept confidential. 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 OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
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.
Please direct your written comments

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, C/O Remi

2017. The Commission is extending this
45-day time period.
The Commission finds that it is
appropriate to designate a longer period
within which to take action on the
proposed rule change so that it has
sufficient time to consider the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment
No. 1. Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,6
designates October 26, 2017, as the date
by which the Commission shall either
approve or disapprove or institute
proceedings to determine whether to
disapprove the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1 (File
Number SR–BatsBZX–2017–46).
