Form 6–K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporate events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer’s home country. The purpose of Form 6– K is to ensure that U.S. investors have access to the same information that foreign investors do when making investment decisions. Form 6–K is a public document and all information provided is mandatory. Form 6–K takes approximately 8.7 hours per response and is filed by approximately 34,794 issuers annually. We estimate 75% of the 8.7 hours per response (6.525 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 227,031 hours (6.525 hours per response × 34,794 responses). The remaining burden hours are reflected as a cost to the foreign private issuers. An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

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 × 30 responses).

    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 conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number.
