SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0116]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;

Comment Request; Extension: Form 6-K--Exchange Act Rules 13a-16 and

15d-16

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'') is soliciting comments on the

collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to

submit this existing collection of information to the Office of

Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.

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. 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 x 75% x 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 x 25% x $600 per hour x

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.

Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the agency, including whether the information will

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of

the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;

and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on

respondents, including through the use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information technology.

Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection

Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to

[email protected] by August 7, 2026. There will be a second

opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal

Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

Dated: June 3, 2026.

Sherry R. Haywood,

Assistant Secretary.
