Extension:
    Form F-X.

    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 F-X (17 CFR 239.42) is used to appoint an agent for service of 
process by Canadian issuers registering securities on Forms F-7, F-8, 
F-9 or F-10 under the Securities Act of 1933 (U.S.C. 77a et seq.), or 
filing periodic reports on Form 40-F under the Exchange Act of 1934 (15 
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The information collected must be filed with the 
Commission and is publicly available. We estimate that it takes 
approximately 2 hours per response to prepare Form F-X and that the 
information is filed by approximately 161 respondents for a total 
annual reporting burden of 322 hours (2 hours per response x 161 
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,
