SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0313]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 203-2 & Form ADV-W
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 submitting to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) this request for extension of the proposed
collection of information
The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 203-2 (17 CFR
275.203-2) and Form ADV-W (17 CFR 279.2) under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b).'' Rule 203-2 under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 establishes procedures for an investment adviser to
withdraw its registration or pending registration with the Commission.
Rule 203-2 requires every person withdrawing from investment adviser
registration with the Commission to file Form ADV-W electronically on
the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (``IARD''). The purpose
of the information collection is to notify the Commission and the
public when an investment adviser withdraws its pending or approved SEC
registration. Typically, an investment adviser files a Form ADV-W when
it ceases doing business or when it is ineligible to remain registered
with the Commission.
The potential respondents to this information collection are all
investment advisers that are registered with the Commission or have
applications pending with the Commission. The Commission has estimated
that compliance with the requirement to complete Form ADV-W imposes a
total burden of approximately 0.75 hours (45 minutes) for an adviser
filing for full withdrawal and approximately 0.25 hours (15 minutes)
for an adviser filing for partial withdrawal. Based on historical
filings, the Commission estimates that there are approximately 880
respondents annually filing for full withdrawal and approximately 673
respondents annually filing for partial withdrawal. Based on these
estimates, the total estimated annual burden would be 828.25 hours
((880 respondents x .75 hours) + (673 respondents x .25 hours)).
Rule 203-2 and Form ADV-W require recordkeeping or records
retention--an adviser must keep a copy of its filed ADV-W in its
records and the Commission record retention schedule is Job. No. N1-
266-91-1-43a. The collection of information requirements under the rule
and form are mandatory. The information collected pursuant to the rule
and Form ADV-W are filings with the Commission. These filings are 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.
