# Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form F-10—Registration Statement
*Upon Written Request, Copies Available From:* Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-2736
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-10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a, *et seq.* ) that may be used by certain Canadian foreign private issuers. The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings. The information required by Form F-10 is mandatory, and Form F-10 is publicly available on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. We estimate that Form F-10 takes approximately 30.23 hours per response and is filed once per year by approximately 52 respondents, for a total of approximately 52 responses annually. We estimate that 25% of the 30.23 hours per response is carried internally by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 393 hours ((30.23 hours per response × 25%) × 52 responses). We estimate that 75% of the 30.23 hours per response is carried externally by outside professionals retained by the issuer at an estimated rate of $600 per hour for a total annual cost burden of $707,382 ((75% × 30.23 hours per response) × $600 per hour × 52 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 OMB Control Number.
The public may view and comment on this information collection request at: *https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202512-3235-027* or send an email comment to *[email protected]* within 30 days of the day after publication of this notice by April 20, 2026.
Dated: March 17, 2026.
