                Proposed Collection; 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
                 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 157.84
                hours per response and is filed by approximately 113 respondents. We
                estimate that 25% of the 157.84 hours per response (39.46 hours) is
                prepared by the registrant for a total annual reporting burden of 4,459
                hours (39.46 hours per response x 113 responses). 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 collection 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.
                 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.
                 Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief
                Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia
                Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

                Assistant Secretary.
