SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-335, OMB Control No. 3235-0381]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 40-F

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

    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 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to 
register a class of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'')(15 U.S.C. 78l) or as 
an annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 
(15 U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The information required in the Form 40-F 
is used by investors in making investment decisions with respect to the 
securities of such Canadian companies. We estimate that Form 40-F takes 
approximately 431.42 hours per response and is filed by approximately 
132 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 431.42 hours per response 
(107.855 hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total reporting burden 
of 14,237 (107.855 hours per response x 132 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 background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending 
an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: December 28, 2021.

Assistant Secretary.
