SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Form 24F-2; SEC File No. 270-399, OMB Control No. 3235-0456.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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.
Rule 24f-2 (17 CFR 270.24f-2) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) requires any open-end management companies
(``mutual funds''), unit investment trusts (``UITs'') or face-amount
certificate companies (collectively, ``funds'') deemed to have
registered an indefinite amount of securities to file, not later than
90 days after the end of any fiscal year in which it has publicly
offered such securities, Form 24F-2 (17 CFR 274.24) with the
Commission. Form 24F-2 is the annual notice of securities sold by funds
that accompanies the payment of registration fees with respect to the
securities sold during the fiscal year.
The Commission estimates that 6946 funds file Form 24F-2 on the
required annual basis. The average annual burden per respondent for
Form 24F-2 is estimated to be two hours. The total annual burden for
all respondents to Form 24F-2 is estimated to be 13,892 hours.
The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules.
Compliance with the collection of information required by Form 24F-
2 is mandatory. The Form 24F-2 filing that must be made to the
Commission is available to the public. 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 Commission requests written comments on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the
burdens 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.
Please direct your written comments to Thomas Bayer, Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send an email
to: [email protected].
Dated: June 4, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
