SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0758]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule 30e-3 (17 CFR 270.30e-3) Under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, ``Internet Availability of Reports to
Shareholders''
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 (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
proposed collection of information.
Under Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the ``Investment Company Act''), a registered investment company is
required to transmit to its shareholders, at least semi-annually,
reports containing financial statements and other financial information
as the Commission may prescribe by rules and regulations. Rule 30e-3
under the Investment Company Act provides certain funds with an
optional method to satisfy shareholder report transmission requirements
by making such reports and certain other materials publicly accessible
on a website, as long as they satisfy certain other conditions of the
rule regarding (1) availability of the report and other materials; (2)
notice to investors of the website availability of the report; and (3)
delivery of paper copies of materials upon request.
Certain of the provisions of rule 30e-3 contain ``collection of
information'' requirements within the meaning on the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The collection of information is required pursuant to 17
CFR 270.30e-3. Reliance on the rule is voluntary. Responses to the
disclosure requirements are not kept confidential.
We estimate that annually there are approximately 703 funds
affected by rule 30e-3. We estimate that the total annual burden of
complying with the information collection requirements in rule 30e-3 is
approximately 1,406 burden hours. We estimate that there is an annual
cost burden of approximately $5,129,008. These burden hour and cost
estimates are based upon the Commission staff's experience and
discussions with the fund industry. The estimates of average burden
hours and costs are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act. These estimates are not derived from a comprehensive or
even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules.
Compliance with the collection of information requirements of the
rule is necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on the rule. 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 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

Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to

Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.
