and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 18 (17 CFR 249.218) is a registration form used for by a 
foreign government or political subdivision to register securities for 
listing on a U.S. exchange. The information collected is intended to 
ensure that the information required by the Commission to be filed 
permits verification of compliance with securities law requirements and 
assures the public availability of the information. The information 
provided is mandatory and all information is made available to the 
public upon request. 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.
    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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.

Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
