SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-135, OMB Control No. 3235-0176]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rules 8b-1
to 8b-5; 8b-10 to 8b-22; and 8b-25 to 8b-31
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 (``OMB'') a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
Rules 8b-1 to 8b-5; 8b-10 to 8b-22; and 8b-25 to 8b-31 (``rules
under Section 8(b)'') (17 CFR 270.8b-1 to 8b-31) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company
Act'') set forth the procedures for preparing and filing a registration
statement under the Investment Company Act. These procedures are
intended to facilitate the registration process. These rules generally
do not require respondents to report information.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Although the rules under Section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act are generally procedural in nature, two of the rules
require respondents to disclose some limited information. Rule 8b-3
(17 CFR 270.8b-3) provides that whenever a registration form
requires the title of securities to be stated, the registrant must
indicate the type and general character of the securities to be
issued. Rule 8b-22 (17 CFR 270.8b-22) provides that if the existence
of control is open to reasonable doubt, the registrant may disclaim
the existence of control, but it must state the material facts
pertinent to the possible existence of control. The information
required by both of these rules is necessary to ensure that
investors have clear and complete information upon which to base an
investment decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission believes that it is appropriate to estimate the
total respondent burden associated with preparing each registration
statement form rather than attempt to isolate the impact of the
procedural instructions under Section 8(b) of the Investment Company
Act, which impose burdens only in the context of the preparation of the
various registration statement forms. Accordingly, the Commission is
not submitting a separate burden estimate for the rules under Section
8(b), but instead will include the burden for these rules in its
estimates of burden for each of the registration forms under the
Investment Company Act. The Commission is, however, submitting an
hourly burden estimate of one hour for administrative purposes.
The collection of information under the rules under Section 8(b) is
mandatory. The information provided under the rules under Section 8(b)
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.
