Extension:
Form N–8b–4, SEC File No. 270–180, OMB
Control No. 3235–0247.
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
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
• Form N–8b–4—Registration
Statement of Face-Amount Certificate
Companies
• Form N–8b–4 is the form used by
face-amount certificate companies to
comply with the filing and disclosure
requirements imposed by section 8(b) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–8(b)). Form N–8b–4
requires disclosure about the
organization of a face-amount certificate
company, its business and policies, its
investment in securities, its certificates
issued, the personnel and affiliated
persons of the depositor, the
distribution and redemption of
securities, and financial statements. The
Commission uses the information
provided in the collection of
information to determine compliance
with section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
Based on the Commission’s industry
statistics, the Commission estimates that
there would be approximately 1 annual
filing on Form N–8b–4. The
Commission estimates that each
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

registrant filing a Form N–8b–4 would
spend 171 hours in preparing and filing
the Form and that the total hour burden
for all Form N–8b–4 filings would be
171 hours. Estimates of the burden
hours are made solely for the purposes
of the PRA, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative
survey or study of the costs of SEC rules
and forms.
The information provided on Form
N–8b–4 is mandatory. The information
provided on Form N–8b–4 will not be
kept confidential. The Commission 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.

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 203A–2(f), which is entitled
‘‘Internet Investment Advisers,’’
exempts from the prohibition on
Commission registration an Internet
investment adviser who provides
investment advice to all of its clients
exclusively through computer softwarebased models or applications, termed
under the rule as ‘‘interactive
websites.’’ 1 These advisers generally
would not meet the statutory thresholds
set out in section 203A of the Advisers
Act—they do not manage $25 million or
more in assets and do not advise
registered investment companies.2
Eligibility under rule 203A–2(f) is
conditioned on an adviser maintaining
in an easily accessible place, for a
period of not less than five years from
the filing of Form ADV relying on the
rule,3 a record demonstrating that the
adviser’s advisory business has been
conducted through an interactive
website in accordance with the rule.
This record maintenance requirement
is a ‘‘collection of information’’ for PRA
purposes. The Commission believes that
approximately 25 advisers are registered
with the Commission under rule 203–
2A(f), which involves a recordkeeping
requirement manifesting in
approximately four burden hours per
year per adviser and results in an
estimated 100 of total burden hours (4
× 25) for all advisers.
This collection of information is
mandatory, as it is used by Commission
staff in its examination and oversight
program in order to determine
continued Commission registration
eligibility for advisers registered under
this rule. Responses generally are kept
confidential pursuant to section 210(b)
of the Advisers Act.4 Written comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
1 17 CFR 275.203A–2(f). Included in rule 203A–
2(f) is a limited exception to the interactive website
requirement which allows these advisers to provide
investment advice to no more than 14 clients
through other means on an annual basis. 17 CFR
275.203A–2(f)(1)(i). The rule also precludes
advisers in a control relationship with the SECregistered Internet adviser from registering with the
Commission under the common control exemption
provided by rule 203A–2(c) [17 CFR 275.203A–
2(c)]. 17 CFR 275.203A–2(f)(1)(iii).
2 15 U.S.C. 80b–3a(a).
3 The five-year record retention period is the same
recordkeeping retention period for all advisers
imposed under rule 204–2 of the Adviser Act. See
rule 204–2 [17 CFR 275.204–2].

Securities Act registration for the
issuance of fractional shares, scrip
certificates or order forms, in
connection with a stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, conversion,
merger or similar transaction to furnish
specified information to the
Commission in writing at least ten days
prior to the offering. The information is
needed to provide public notice that an
issuer is relying on the exemption.
Public companies are the likely
respondents. An estimated ten
submissions are made pursuant to Rule
236 annually, resulting in an estimated
annual total burden of 15 hours. The
