SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 12g3-2, SEC File No. 270-104, OMB Control No. 3235-0119

    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.
    Rule 12g3-2 (17 CFR 240.12g3-2) under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') provides an exemption from Section 12(g) 
of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78l(g)) for foreign private issuers. 
Rule 12g3-2 is designed to provide investors in foreign securities with 
information about such securities and the foreign issuer. As a 
condition to the exemption, a non-Exchange Act reporting foreign 
private issuer must publish in English specified non-U.S. disclosure 
documents required by Rule 12g3-2(b) for its most recently completed 
fiscal year on its internet website or through an electronic 
information delivery system in its primary trading market. In addition, 
the rule requires a foreign private issuer similarly to publish 
electronically specified non-U.S. disclosure documents in English on an 
ongoing basis for subsequent fiscal years as a condition to maintaining 
the Rule 12g3-2(b) exemption. We estimate that, that approximately 
1,386 respondents claim the exemption. Each respondent publishes an 
estimated 12 submissions pursuant to Rule 12g3-2 per year for a total 
of 16,632 responses. We estimate the number of burden hours incurred by 
foreign private issuers to produce the Rule 12g3-2(b) publications to 
total 37,206, or approximately 2.237 burden hours per response (2.237 
hours per response x 16,632 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 control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon,100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: March 19, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
