SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form F-3: SEC File No. 270-251, OMB Control No. 3235-0256.

    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.
    Form F-3 (17 CFR 239.33) is used by foreign issuers to register 
securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.). 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. Form F-3 takes approximately 167 
hours per response and is filed by approximately 107 respondents. We 
estimate that 25% of the 167 hours per response (41.75 hours) is 
prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 4,467 
hours (41.75 hours per response x 107 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.govq. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: 
ShaguftaAhmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email 
to: PRAMailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: September 22, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
