Rule 204-2, OMB Control No. 3235-0278, SEC File No. 270-215.
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'') 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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 204-2'' (17
CFR 275.204-2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C.
80b-1). Rule 204-2 sets forth the requirements for maintaining and
preserving specified books and records. The collection of information
under rule 204-2 is necessary for the Commission staff to use in its
examination and oversight program. The respondents to the collection of
information are investment advisers registered with us. The Commission
staff estimates that the total reporting and recordkeeping burden of
the collection of information for each respondent is approximately
181.45 hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
