Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form F-4.

    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 the request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Form F-4 (17 CFR 239.34) is used by foreign issuers to register 
securities in business combinations, reorganizations and exchange 
offers pursuant to federal securities laws pursuant to the Securities 
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). The information collected is 
intended to ensure that the information required to be filed by the 
Commission permits verification of compliance with securities law 
requirements and assures the public availability of such information. 
The information provided is mandatory and all information is made 
available to the public upon request. Form F-4 takes approximately 
1,457 hours per response and is filed by approximately 68 respondents. 
We estimate that 25% of the 1,457 hours per response (364.25 hours) is 
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 
24,769 hours (364.25 hours per response x 68 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, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 
F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 
this notice.

    Dated: March 20, 2014.
