Form F-10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a
registration statement available for use by certain Canadian
foreign private issuers. The purpose of this information collection
is to encourage cross-border offerings, permit verification of
compliance with securities law requirements, and assure the public
availability of such information. A Form F-10 registrant must
comply with disclosure requirements of the appropriate Canadian
securities administrator together with specified disclosure items
on Form F-10. The disclosure items of Form F-10, combined with the
disclosure that has already been approved by a Canadian securities
commission, reflect the Commission’s experience and best judgment
as to information regarding an issuer and the offering that should
be required to be disclosed to prospective investors. The principal
function of the Commission’s forms and rules under the securities
laws’ disclosure provisions is to make information available to
investors. The information on Form F-10 can be used by security
holders, investors and others in evaluating securities and making
investment decisions with respect to such securities.
The decrease in estimated
annual burden hours of 189 hours is due to a decrease in the
estimated number of annual Form F-10 responses (from 77 to 52). The
increase in cost burden of $8,682 is due to an increase in the
Commission’s estimate of the cost to issuers of outside
professionals (from $400 per hour to $600 per hour), which is
partially offset by the decrease in the estimated number of annual
responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
