*Extension:*
Form F-X, SEC File No. 270-336, OMB Control No. 3235-0379
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 extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.
Form F-X (17 CFR 239.42) is used to appoint an agent for service of process by Canadian issuers registering securities on Forms F-7, F-8, F-9 or F-10 under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a *et seq.* ), or filing periodic reports on Form 40-F under the Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a *et seq.* ). The information collected must be filed with the Commission and is publicly available. We estimate it takes approximately 2 hours per response to prepare Form F-X and the information is filed by approximately 114 respondents for a total annual reporting burden of 228 hours (2 hours per response × 114 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 website, *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 email to: *[email protected];* and (ii) Pamela Dyson, 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: *[email protected].* Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.
Dated: June 21, 2018.
