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

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (“PRA”) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) this request for an extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.

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. The information required by Form 6-K is mandatory, and Form 6-K filings are publicly available on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. We estimate that Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7 total hours per response to comply with the form's information collection requirements and is filed approximately 21.29 times per year by approximately 1,261 respondents, for a total of approximately 26,848 responses per year. We estimate that 75% of the 8.7 hours per response is carried internally by the issuer for a total annual reporting burden of 175,183 hours (8.7 total hours per response × 75% × 26,848 responses annually). We estimate that 25% of the 8.7 hours per response is carried externally by outside professionals retained by the issuer at an estimated rate of $600 per hour for a total annual cost burden of $35,036,640 (8.7 total hours per response × 25% × $600 per hour × 26,848 responses annually).

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 OMB Control Number.

The public may view and comment on this information collection request at: www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAViewICR?​ref_​nbr=​202605-3235-006 send an email comment to within 30 days of the day after publication of this notice by September 18, 2026.

Dated: August 14, 2026.

Vanessa A. Countryman,

Secretary.
