SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0657]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 30b1-7 and Form N-MFP

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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Section 30(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment 
Company Act'') \1\ provides that ``[e]very registered investment 
company shall file with the Commission . . . such information, 
documents, and reports (other than financial statements), as the 
Commission may require to keep reasonably current the information and 
documents contained in the registration statement of such company. . . 
.'' \2\ Rule 30b1-7 under the Investment Company Act, entitled 
``Monthly Report for Money Market Funds,'' provides that every 
registered investment company, or series thereof, that is regulated as 
a money market funds under rule 2a-7 \3\ must file with the Commission 
a monthly report of portfolio holdings on Form N-MFP \4\ no later than 
the fifth

[[Page 65803]]

business day of each month.\5\ Form N-MFP sets forth the specific 
disclosure items that money market funds must provide. Filers must 
submit this report electronically using the Commission's electronic 
filing system (``EDGAR'') in Extensible Markup Language (``XML'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 80a-29(b).
    \3\ 17 CFR 270.2a-7.
    \4\ 17 CFR 274.201.
    \5\ 17 CFR 270.30b1-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Compliance with rule 30b1-7 is mandatory for any fund that holds 
itself out as a money market fund in reliance on rule 2a-7. A fund must 
comply with the requirement to prepare Form N-MFP to hold itself out to 
investors as a money market fund or the equivalent of a money market 
fund in reliance on rule 2a-7. The collection of information is 
mandatory for money market funds that rely on rule 2a-7. Responses to 
the information collections 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 OMB 
control number.
    The following estimates of average burden hours and costs are made 
solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived 
from a comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the cost 
of Commission rules and forms. The respondents to these collections of 
information will be money market funds. The Commission estimates there 
are 318 money market funds that report information on Form N-MFP.\6\ 
Cost burden is the cost of goods and services purchased in connection 
with complying with the collection of information requirements of rule 
30b1-7 and Form N-MFP. The cost burden does not include the internal 
hour burdens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission's calculations are based on Form N-MFP 
filings as of March 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The table below summarizes our PRA annual burden estimates 
associated with Form N-MFP.

Notes:
1. To calculate the occupational hourly rates used in this release, the Commission uses occupational mean hourly
  wage data from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program of the Bureau of Labor
  Statistics (BLS) for ``Securities, Commodity Contracts, and Other Financial Investments and Related
  Activities'' (NAICS 523)]. See Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS,
  <a href="https://www.bls.gov/oes/">https://www.bls.gov/oes/</a>; see also Standard Occupational Classification, U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS,
  <a href="https://www.bls.gov/soc/">https://www.bls.gov/soc/</a> (describing occupational classification system used by BLS); EXEC. OFF. OF THE
  PRESIDENT, OFF. OF MGMT. & BUDGET, NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (2022), available at <a href="https://www.census.gov/naics/reference_files_tools/2022_NAICS_Manual.pdf">https://www.census.gov/naics/reference_files_tools/2022_NAICS_Manual.pdf</a> (describing the industry classification
  system used by BLS and other agencies). The mean hourly wage for each occupation is adjusted for changes in
  the seasonally adjusted employment cost index for private wages and salaries between the data reference period
  and when the data are released by BLS. See Employment Cost Index, U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/eci/">https://www.bls.gov/eci/</a>. The adjusted mean hourly wage is then multiplied by a factor that accounts for nonwage costs
  borne by employers, such as bonuses, benefits, and overhead. This factor is calculated as an average over the
  10 most recently available years of data of the ratio of the Bureau of Economic Analysis's annual gross output
  data for NAICS 523 to total annual wages across all occupations for NAICS 523 in the OEWS data. See Gross
  Output by Industry, U.S. BUREAU OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, <a href="https://www.bea.gov/data/industries/gross-output-by-industry">https://www.bea.gov/data/industries/gross-output-by-industry</a> industry; Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/oes/">https://www.bls.gov/oes/</a> oes/. The final product is the occupational hourly rate. See generally UPDATED METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING
  OCCUPATIONAL HOURLY RATES (Dec. 19, 2025), available at <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/method-occupational-hourly-rates.pdf">https://www.sec.gov/files/method-occupational-hourly-rates.pdf</a>.
2. This estimate is based on the following calculation: (12 monthly filings x 11 internal burden hours) = 132
  total annual burden hours.
3. This represents a blended hourly rate of $459 for a Financial Manager ($730 per hour), Accountant and Auditor
  ($330 per hour), Database Administrator ($375 per hour), and Financial and Investment Analyst ($399 per hour).
  The blended hourly rate was calculated as ($730 + $330 + $375 + $399) / 4 = $459, as rounded to the nearest
  whole dollar.
4. This represents 132 hours x $459/hour = $60,588.
5. This represents 12 monthly filings x $774 external cost burden per filing (representing 1 hour for a lawyer
  ($774)) = $9,288.
6. This estimate is based on Form N-MFP filings as of March 2026.

    Our change in burden estimates is shown in table 2 below.
