SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-156, OMB Control No. 3235-0288]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 20-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 20-F (17 CFR 249.220f) is used to register securities of 
foreign private issuers pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l) or as annual 
and transitional reports pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the 
Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and 78o(d)). The information required in 
the Form 20-F is used by investors in making investment decisions with 
respect to the securities of such foreign private issuers. We estimate 
that Form 20-F takes approximately 2,629.92 hours per response and is 
filed by approximately 729 respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 
2,629.92 hours per response (657.48 hours) is prepared by the issuer 
for a total reporting burden of 479,303 (657.48 hours per response x 
729 responses).
    An agency may 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 
by October 13, 2023 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: September 8, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
