SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Schedule 14D-1F, SEC File No. 270-338, OMB Control No. 3235-
0376.

    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 extension and approval.
    Schedule 14D-1F (17 CFR 240.14d-102) is a form that may be used by 
any person (the ``bidder'') making a cash tender or exchange offer for 
securities of any issuer (the ``target'') incorporated or organized 
under the laws of Canada or any Canadian province or territory that is 
a foreign private issuer, where less than 40% of the outstanding class 
of the target's securities that is the subject of the offer is held by 
U.S. holders. Schedule 14D-1F is designed to facilitate cross-border 
transactions in the securities of Canadian issuers. The information 
required to be filed with the Commission provides security holders with 
material information regarding the bidder as well as the transaction so 
that they may make informed investment decisions. Schedule 14D-1F takes 
approximately 2 hours per response to prepare and is filed by 
approximately 2 respondents annually for a total reporting burden of 4 
hours (2 hours per response x 2 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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 
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.
    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.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Riddle, Acting 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an 
email to: [email protected].

    Dated: November 20, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
