Abstract: Form F-1 is used by certain foreign private issuers to register securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

Emergency Justfication: The Commission requests an emergency extension for the following information collection because the amendments to these information collections were required to make them consistent with the provisions of the newly enacted FAST Act. The Commission, for good cause, found that notice and comment were unnecessary because the amendments merely conform the information collections to the requirements of the FAST Act, and also found that there was good cause for the amendments to take effect on January 19, 2016, due to the Congressional request to adopt the amendments within 45 days of the enactment of the FAST Act.
