SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0120]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 18-K--Annual Report

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'' or ``SEC'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') this request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 18-K (17 CFR 249.318) is an annual report form used by foreign 
governments or political subdivisions of foreign governments with 
securities listed on a United States exchange. The information to be 
collected is intended to ensure the adequacy and public availability of 
information available to investors. The information provided is 
mandatory. Form 18-K is a public document. The information required by 
Form 18-K is mandatory, and Form 18-K is publicly available on the 
Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval 
(``EDGAR'') system. We estimate that Form 18-K takes approximately 8 
hours to prepare and is filed once per year by approximately 37 
respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 296 hours (8 hours 
per response x 37 responses). We estimate that there is no cost 
associated with this information collection because 100% of the burden 
is carried internally by the issuer.
    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 OMB Control Number. The public may view and comment on 
this information collection request at: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202507-3235-007 or send an email comment to 
[email protected] within 30 days of the day 
after publication of this notice by October 27, 2025.

    Dated: September 23, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
