SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.
Extension:
Rule 30b2-1; SEC File No. 270-213, OMB Control No. 3235-0220.
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 the existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 30b2-1 (17 CFR 270.30b2-1) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the ``Investment Company Act'')
requires a registered investment company (``fund'') to (1) file a
report with the Commission on Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128)
not later than 10 days after the transmission of any report required to
be transmitted to shareholders under rule 30e-1 under the Investment
Company Act, and (2) file with the Commission a copy of every periodic
or interim report or similar communication containing financial
statements that is transmitted by or on behalf of such fund to any
class of such fund's security holders and that is not required to be
filed with the Commission under (1) above, not later than 10 days after
the transmission to security holders. The purpose of the collection of
information required by rule 30b2-1 is to meet the disclosure
requirements of the Investment Company Act and certification
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-204, 116
Stat. 745 (2002)), and to provide investors with information necessary
to evaluate an interest in the fund.
The Commission estimates that there are 2,430 funds, with a total
of 11,080 portfolios, that are governed by the rule. For purposes of
this analysis, the burden associated with the requirements of rule
30b2-1 has been included in the collection of information requirements
of rule 30e-1 and Form N-CSR, rather than the rule. The Commission has,
however, requested a one hour burden for administrative purposes.
The collection of information under rule 30b2-1 is mandatory. The
information provided under rule 30b2-1 is 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.
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.
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: July 17, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
