SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services,
Washington, DC 20549.
Revision: Form F-6, SEC File No. 270-270, OMB Control No. 3235-
0292.
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 requests for approval of modification to the following form:
Form F-6--Used for registration of American Depositary Receipts
(``ADRs'') of foreign companies. Form F-6 requires disclosure of
information regarding the terms of the deposit agreement, the
depositary bank, fees charged, and a description of the ADR. No special
information regarding the foreign company is required to be prepared or
disclosed, although the foreign company must be one which periodically
furnishes information to the Commission. Such information is available
for public inspection. The disclosure items of Form F-6 reflect the
Commission's experience and best judgment as to what information about
an issuer and the deposit agreement should be required to be disclosed
to protect investor interests.
The Commission proposed to eliminate disclosure requirements that
would result in an estimated reduction in burden of .1 hour per
submission, for a total reduction in burden from 339 to 306 hours.
General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be
directed to the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission
at the address below. Any comments concerning the accuracy of the
estimated average burden hours for compliance with Commission rules and
forms should be directed to Michael E. Bartell, Associate Executive
Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and Exchange
Commission, 450 Fifth Street NW., Washington, D.C. 20549 and Desk
Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
Dated: March 21, 1996.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
