and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information

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 1.35 hour per response to
prepare and is filed by 953 respondents
annually. We estimate that 25% of the
1.35 hour per response (0.338 hours) is
prepared by the filer for a total annual
reporting burden of 322 hours (0.338
hours per response x 953 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper

Rule 17f–1
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 (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 17f–1 (17 CFR 270.17f–1) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the ‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is entitled:
‘‘Custody of Securities with Members of
National Securities Exchanges.’’ Rule
17f–1 provides that any registered
management investment company
(‘‘fund’’) that wishes to place its assets
in the custody of a national securities
exchange member may do so only under
a written contract that must be ratified
initially and approved annually by a
majority of the fund’s board of directors.
The written contract also must contain
certain specified provisions. In addition,
the rule requires an independent public
accountant to examine the fund’s assets
in the custody of the exchange member
at least three times during the fund’s
fiscal year. The rule requires the written
contract and the certificate of each
examination to be transmitted to the
Commission. The purpose of the rule is
to ensure the safekeeping of fund assets.
Commission staff estimates that each
fund makes 1 response and spends an
average of 3.5 hours annually in
complying with the rule’s requirements.
Commission staff estimates that on an
annual basis it takes: (i) 0.5 hours for the
board of directors 1 to review and ratify
the custodial contracts; and (ii) 3 hours
for the fund’s controller to assist the
fund’s independent public auditors in
verifying the fund’s assets.
1 Estimates of the number of hours are based on
conversations with representatives of mutual funds
that comply with the rule. The actual number of
hours may vary significantly depending on
individual fund assets. The hour burden for rule
17f–1 does not include preparing the custody
contract because that would be part of customary
and usual business practice.

Form F-6.
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 approval.
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 1.35 hour per response to prepare and is
filed by 953 respondents annually. We estimate that 25% of the 1.35
hour per response (0.338 hours) is prepared by the filer for a total
annual reporting burden of 322 hours (0.338 hours per response x 953
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 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
