SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-136, OMB Control No. 3235-0157]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Form N-8F
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.
Form N-8F (17 CFR 274.218) is the form prescribed for use by
registered investment companies in certain circumstances to request
orders of the Commission declaring that the registration of that
investment company cease to be in effect. The form requests information
about: (i) the investment company's identity, (ii) the investment
company's distributions, (iii) the investment company's assets and
liabilities, (iv) the events leading to the request to deregister, and
(v) the conclusion of the investment company's business. The
information is needed by the Commission to determine whether an order
of deregistration is appropriate.
The Form takes approximately 5.2 hours on average to complete. It
is estimated that approximately 101 investment companies file Form N-8F
annually, so the total annual burden for the form is estimated to be
approximately 525 hours. The estimate of average burden hours is made
solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and is not
derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.
Commission staff continues to believe that there is no cost burden for
completing and filing Form N-8F.
The collection of information on Form N-8F is not mandatory. The
information provided on Form N-8F 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 November 8, 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: Austin Gerig, Director/
Chief Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Oluwaseun
Ajayi, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

Secretary.
