SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-213, OMB Control No. 3235-0220]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 30b2-1
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 the existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 30b2-1 (17 CFR 270.30b2-1) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the
[[Page 84026]]
``Investment Company Act'') requires a registered management investment
company (``fund'') to (1) file a report with the Commission on Form N-
CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128) not later than 10 days after the
transmission of any report required to be transmitted to shareholders
under rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act, and (2) file with
the Commission a copy of every periodic or interim report or similar
communication containing financial statements that is transmitted by or
on behalf of such fund to any class of such fund's security holders and
that is not required to be filed with the Commission under (1) above,
not later than 10 days after the transmission to security holders. The
purpose of the collection of information required by rule 30b2-1 is to
meet the disclosure requirements of the Investment Company Act and
certification requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub. L.
107-204, 116 Stat. 745 (2002)), and to provide investors with
information necessary to evaluate an interest in the fund.
The Commission estimates that there are 2,728 funds, with a total
of 13,449 portfolios, that are governed by the rule. For purposes of
this analysis, the burden associated with the requirements of rule
30b2-1 has been included in the collection of information requirements
of rule 30e-1 (17 CFR 270.30e-1) and Form N-CSR, rather than the rule.
The rule 30b2-1 information collection, however, imposes a one hour
burden for administrative purposes and we are maintaining that one hour
burden.
The collection of information under rule 30b2-1 is mandatory. The
information provided under rule 30b2-1 is not 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 January 30, 2024.
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#bbebe9fae4f6dad2d7d9d4c3fbc8ded895dcd4cd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="92c2c0d3cddff3fbfef0fdead2e1f7f1bcf5fde4">[email protected]</span></a>.
Dated: November 27, 2023.
Christina Z. Milnor,
Assistant Secretary.
