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 2–E under the Securities Act
of 1933, Report of Sales pursuant to
Rule 609 of Regulation E. Rule 609
under the Securities Act of 1933, Report
of Sales
Under Rule 609 under the Securities
Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.609), Form 2–
E under the Securities Act of 1933 (17
CFR 239.201) is used by small business
investment companies or business
development companies engaged in
limited offerings of securities to report
semi-annually the progress of the
offering, including the number of shares
sold. The form solicits information such
as the dates an offering has commenced
and has been completed, the number of
shares sold and still being offered,
amounts received in the offering, and
expenses and underwriting discounts
incurred in the offering. This
information assists the staff in
determining whether the issuer has
stayed within the limits of an offering
exemption.
Form 2–E must be filed semi-annually
during an offering and as a final report
at the completion of the offering. Less
frequent filing would not allow the
Commission to monitor the progress of
the limited offering in order to ensure
that the issuer was not attempting to
avoid the normal registration provisions
of the securities laws.
During the calendar year 2005, there
were 36 filings of Form 2–E by 24
respondents. The Commission
estimates, based on its experience with
disclosure documents generally and
Form 2–E in particular, and based on
informal contacts with the investment
company industry, that the total annual
burden associated with information
collection, Form 2–E preparation, and
submission is four hours per filing or
144 hours for all respondents.
The estimates of average burden hours
are made solely for the purposes of the
Act and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative
survey or study of the cost of
Commission rules and forms.
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
