SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request; Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form 40-F; OMB Control No. 3235-0381; SEC File No. 270-335 .

    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 approval of extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form 40-F (17 CFR 249.240f) is used by certain Canadian issuers to 
register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78l) or as an annual 
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 
U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The information required in the Form 40-F is 
used by investors making investment decisions with respect to the 
securities of such Canadian companies. All information provided to the 
Commission is available for public review. Information provided by Form 
40-F is mandatory. We estimate that Form 40-F takes approximately 427 
hours per response and is filed by approximately 205 respondents. We 
estimate that 25% of the 427 hours per response (106.75 hours) is 
prepared by the issuer for a total reporting burden of 21,884 (106.75 
hours per response x 205 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, http://www.reginfo.gov. 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 e-
mail to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an 
e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: May 11, 2011.

Deputy Secretary.
