    Schedule 14D-1F

    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 by July 25, 
2022.
    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 comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John 
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:
