    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 publishing the following summaries of 
collections for public comment.
    Form F-9 is used to register investment grade debt and preferred 
securities that are non-convertible or not convertible for at least one 
year under the Securities Act of 1933, by registrants incorporated or 
organized under the laws of Canada. This information is needed to 
provide full and fair disclosure to the investing public. Approximately 
210 Forms F-9 will be filed annually by Canadian issuers with an 
aggregate annual burden hours of 420.
    Form F-10 is used to register securities under the Securities Act 
of 1933, by any substantial issuer incorporated or organized under the 
laws of Canada. This information is needed to provide full and fair 
disclosure to the investing public. Approximately 210 Forms F-10 will 
be filed annually by Canadian issuers with an aggregate annual burden 
hours of 420.
    Regulation S-T sets forth the filing requirements relating to the 
submission of documents in electronic format through the Electronic 
Data Gathering and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. While the regulation does 
not specifically require any information to be disclosed but rather 
addresses the means by which disclosure required by other forms and 
regulations must be filed with the Commission. For administrative 
purposes this Regulation has been assigned 1 burden hour.
    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 shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
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.
    Direct your written comments to Michael E. Bartell, Associate 
Executive Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549.

    Dated: March 21, 1996.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
