SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0219]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; Reinstatement With Change: Rule 30a-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'' or ``SEC'') 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 reinstatement.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 30a-1 (17 CFR 
270.30a-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.''
    The Commission is seeking to reinstate the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(``PRA'') information collection request for rule 30a-1 (17 CFR 
270.30a-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 under OMB control 
number 3235-0219 for the purpose of discontinuing this information 
collection. The last Commission request for OMB approval under this 
control number was submitted in May of 2000. Rule 30a-1 is an active 
rule, but it has been amended since the last PRA submission in 2000. 
The current rule requires investment companies and unit investment 
trusts to file an annual report on Form N-CEN at least every twelve 
months. The burden associated with the information request outlined 
within rule 30a-1 is contained within the information collection 
request for Form N-CEN under OMB control number 3235-0729. Thus, there 
has been no lapse in reporting the burden associated with rule 30a-1. 
Since the burden is being reported under an alternative ICR, the 
Commission is seeking to reinstate the rule 30a-1 ICR under control 
number 3235-0729 in order to have it properly discontinued. Moving 
forward, the Commission will reference rule 30a-1 within the ICR for 
Form N-CEN.
    The requirements of this collection of information are mandatory. 
Responses 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 control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the SEC, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the SEC's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated, 
electronic collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection 
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#217140514453564e534a734445544255484e4f604255615244420f464e57"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0b5b6a7b6e797c647960596e6f7e687f6264654a687f4b786e68256c647d">[email&#160;protected]</span></a> by October 6, 2025. There will be a 
second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal 
Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.

    Dated: August 4, 2025.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
