SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Form 6-K; OMB Control No. 3235-0116; SEC File No. 270-107.
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 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be
filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information
promptly after the occurrence of specified or other
[[Page 63216]]
important corporate events that are disclosed in the foreign private
issuer's home country. The purpose of Form 6-K is to ensure that U.S.
investors have access to the same information that foreign investors do
when making investment decisions. Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7
hours per response and is filed by approximately 12,022 issuers
annually. We estimate that 75% of the 8.7 hours per response (6.525
hours) is prepared by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of
78,444 hours (6.525 hours per response x 12,022 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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.
Please direct your written comments to Jeffrey Heslop, Acting
Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi Pavlik-
Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an
e-mail to: [email protected].
Dated: October 6, 2010.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
