SEC File No. 270–105. 

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 Budget for extension and 

approval. 

Form 18 (17 CFR 249.218) is used for 

the registration of securities of any 

foreign government or political 

subdivision on a U.S. exchange. 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 the 

information. Form 18 takes 

approximately 8 hours per response and 

is filed by approximately 5 respondents 

for a total of 40 annual burden hours. It 

is estimated that 100% of the total 

reporting burden is prepared by the 

company. 

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 collections 

of information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated

information technology. Consideration

Extension: 

Form F–80; OMB Control No. 3235–0404; 

SEC File No. 270–357. 

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 Budget for extension and 

approval. 

Form F–80 (17 CFR 239.41) is used by 

large, publicly-traded Canadian foreign 

private issuers registering securities that 

are offered in business combinations 

and exchange offers. 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 the information. Form F– 

80 takes approximately 2 hours per 

response and is filed by 4 issuers for a 

total annual burden of 8 hours. The 

estimated burden of 2 hours per 

response was based upon the amount of 

time necessary to compile the 

registration statement using the existing 

Canadian prospectus plus any 

additional information required by the 

Commission. 

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 collections 

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.
