Form F–7; OMB Control No. 3235– 0383; 

SEC File No. 270–331. 

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 F–7 (17 CFR 239.37) is a 

registration statement under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) used to register securities that are 

offered for cash upon the exercise of 

rights that are granted to a registrant’s 

existing security holders to purchase or 

subscribe such securities. The 

information collected is intended to 

ensure that the information required to 

be filed by the Commission permits 

verification of compliance with 

securities law requirements and assures 

the public availability of such 

information. The information provided 

is mandatory and all information is 

made available to the public upon 

request. Form F–7 takes approximately 

4 hours per response to prepare and is 

filed by approximately 5 respondents. 

We estimate that 25% of 4 hours per 

response (one hour) is prepared by the 

company for a total annual reporting 

burden of 5 hours (one hour per 

response × 5 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.

above information should be directed to
