Form 20-F is filed by foreign private
issuers of securities to satisfy their annual report obligations
pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act of
1934.
The proposed amendments in
Release No. 33-9070 would require disclosure regarding credit
ratings used in connection with a registered offering. The increase
in the burden associated with Form 20-F is necessary in order to
provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive
understanding of credit ratings, which should help investors make
more informed investment decisions. The proposal would result in an
increase of 120 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of
$16,000 for services of outside professionals. For a more detailed
discussion, please refer to the supporting statement.
