SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-222, OMB Control No. 3235-0233]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form 2-E
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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 609 (17 CFR 230.609) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires small business investment companies and
business development companies that have engaged in offerings of
securities that are exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation E
under the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.601 to 610a) to report
semi-annually on Form 2-E (17 CFR 239.201) the progress of the
offering. The form solicits information such as the dates an offering
commenced and was completed (if completed), the number of shares sold
and still being offered, amounts received in the offering, and expenses
and underwriting discounts incurred in the offering. The information
provided on Form 2-E assists the staff in monitoring the progress of
the offering and in determining whether the offering has stayed within
the limits set for an offering exempt under Regulation E.
Although there have been no filings of Form 2-E since 2017, for
administrative purposes the Commission estimates that, on average,
approximately one respondent submits a Form 2-E filing each year. The
Commission further estimates that this information collection imposes
an annual burden of four hours and imposes no annual external cost
burden.
The collection of information under Form 2-E is mandatory. The
information provided by the form will not be kept confidential. 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 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 18, 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

Assistant Secretary.
