The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking public comments on a proposal to extend the use of Form 40-F. This form is used by certain Canadian companies to register securities or as an annual report under U.S. securities laws. The SEC wants feedback on whether the information collection is necessary, how to improve its accuracy and utility, and suggestions to reduce the burden on companies. Comments must be submitted in writing before March 17, 2025.
