SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-177, OMB Control No. 3235-0177]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 6e-2 and
Form N-6EI-1
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'') 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 for extension and approval.
Rule 6e-2 (17 CFR 270.6e-2) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive rule that provides
separate accounts formed by life insurance companies to fund certain
variable life insurance products, exemptions from certain provisions of
the Act, subject to conditions set forth in the rule.
Rule 6e-2 provides a separate account with an exemption from the
registration provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if the account files
with the Commission Form N-6EI-1 (17 CFR 274.301), a notification of
claim of exemption.
The rule also exempts a separate account from a number of other
sections of the Act, provided that the separate account makes certain
disclosure in its registration statements (in the case of those
separate accounts that elect to register), reports to contractholders,
proxy solicitations, and submissions to state regulatory authorities,
as prescribed by the rule.
Since 2008, there have been no filings of Form N-6EI-1 by separate
accounts. Therefore, there has been no cost or burden to the industry
since that time. The Commission requests authorization to maintain an
inventory of one burden hour for administrative purposes.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of 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. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted by December 11, 2023.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an
email to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a9f9fbe8f6e4c8c0c5cbc6d1e9daccca87cec6df"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="530301120c1e323a3f313c2b132036307d343c25">[email protected]</span></a>.
Dated: October 6, 2023.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
