SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-22, OMB Control No. 3235-0006]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form 13F

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 (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Section 13(f) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 \2\ (the 
``Exchange Act'') empowers the Commission to: (1) Adopt rules that 
create a reporting and disclosure system to collect specific 
information; and (2) disseminate such information to the public. Rule 
13f-1 \3\ under the Exchange Act requires institutional investment 
managers that exercise investment discretion over accounts that have in 
the aggregate a fair market value of at least $100,000,000 of certain 
U.S. exchange-traded equity securities, as set forth in rule 13f-1(c),

[[Page 29978]]

to file quarterly reports with the Commission on Form 13F.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78m(f).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.13f-1.
    \4\ 17 CFR 249.325.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collection requirements apply to institutional 
investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold. 
Section 13(f)(6)(A) of the Exchange Act defines an ``institutional 
investment manager'' as any person, other than a natural person, 
investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and 
any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account 
of any other person. Rule 13f-1(b) under the Exchange Act defines 
``investment discretion'' for purposes of Form 13F reporting.
    The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act 
is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central 
repository of historical and current data about the investment 
activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the 
body of factual data available to regulators and the public.
    The currently approved burden estimates include a total hour burden 
of 472,521.6 hours, with an internal cost burden of $31,186,425.60, to 
comply with Form 13F.\5\ Consistent with a recent rulemaking proposal 
that made adjustments to these estimates due primarily to the 
Commission's belief that the currently approved estimates do not 
appropriately reflect the information collection costs associated with 
Form 13F,\6\ the table below reflects the revised estimates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ This estimate is based on the last time the rule's 
information collection was submitted for PRA renewal in 2018.
    \6\ See Electronic Submission of Applications for Orders under 
the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act, Confidential 
Treatment Requests for Filings on Form 13F, and Form ADV-NR; 
Amendments to Form 13F, Investment Company Release No. 34415 (Nov. 
4, 2021).
