SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-107 OMB Control No. 3235-0116]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

Extension:
Form 6-K
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 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 34,794 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 227,031 hours (6.525 hours per
response x 34,794 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.
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:
[email protected].
Dated: April 28, 2020.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
