Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form N-CSR
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.
Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128) is a combined reporting
form used by registered management investment companies (``funds'') to
file certified shareholder reports under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company Act'') and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange
Act''). Specifically, Form N-CSR is to be used for reports under
section 30(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-29(b)(2))
and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and
78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2-1(a) under the Investment Company
Act (17 CFR 270.30b2-1(a)). Reports on Form N-CSR are to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') no later than
10 days after the transmission to stockholders of any report that is
required to be transmitted to stockholders under rule 30e-1 under the
Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.30e-1). The information filed with
the Commission permits the verification of compliance with securities
law requirements and assures the public availability and dissemination
of the information.
The following estimates of average burden hours and costs are made
solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 \1\ and are
not derived from a comprehensive or even representative survey or study
of the cost of Commission rules and forms. Compliance with Form N-CSR
is mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be
kept confidential.

The current total annual burden hour inventory for Form N-CSR is
228,037 hours with an internal cost burden of $6,129,524. The hour
burden estimates for preparing and filing reports on Form N-CSR are
based on the Commission's experience with the contents of the form. The
number of burden hours may vary depending on, among other things, the
complexity of the filing and whether preparation of the reports is
performed by internal staff or outside counsel.
The Commission's new estimate of burden hours that will be imposed
by Form N-CSR is as follows:

hours per year for all funds to prepare and file reports on Form N-CSR.
Commission staff estimates that the annual cost of outside services
associated with Form N-CSR is approximately $580 per fund and the total
annual external cost burden for Form N-CSR is $15,140,320.

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms. Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N-CSR is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information will not be kept confidential. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a

Control Number.
