Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 6, 2006 / Notices
investment companies subject to Rule
30e–1 under the Investment Company
Act registering with the Commission on
Forms N–1A, N–2, or N–3.
Approximately 3,237 entities, including
8,963 portfolios are required to file
Form N–Q, which is estimated to
require an average of 21 hours per
portfolio per year to complete. The
estimated annual burden of complying
with the filing requirement is
approximately 188,223 hours. The
estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and are not derived
from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
cost of Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under
Form N–Q is mandatory. The
information provided by the Form 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 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.

Extension: Rule 30e–1; SEC File No. 270–21;
OMB Control No. 3235–0025.
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 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.
The collection of information is
entitled: ‘‘Rule 30e–1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940,
Reports to Stockholders of Management
Companies.’’ Section 30(e) (15 U.S.C.
80a–29(e)) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company
Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) requires
a registered investment company
(‘‘fund’’) to transmit to its shareholders,
at least semi-annually, reports
containing information and financial
statements as the Commission may
prescribe. Among other requirements,
Rule 30e–1 (17 CFR 270.30e–1) under
the Investment Company Act directs
funds to include in the shareholder
reports the information that is required
by the fund’s registration statement.
Failure to require the collection of this
information would seriously impede the
amount of current information available
to shareholders and the public about
funds and would prevent the
Commission from implementing the
regulatory program required by statute.
The estimated annual number of
respondents providing shareholder
reports under Rule 30e–1 is 4,040. The
proposed frequency of response is semiannual. The estimate of the total annual
reporting burden of the collection of
information is approximately 145.8
hours per shareholder report and the
total estimated annual burden for the
industry is 1,178,064 hours (145.8 hours
per report × 2 reports × 4,040 funds).
Providing the information required by
Rule 30e–1 is mandatory. Responses
will not be kept confidential. Estimates
of the burden hours are made solely for
the purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, and are not derived from
a comprehensive or even a
representative survey or study of the
costs of SEC rules and forms.
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
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

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.
Extension: Rule 30e-1; SEC File No. 270-21; OMB Control No. 3235-
0025.
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 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.
The collection of information is entitled: ``Rule 30e-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, Reports to Stockholders of Management
Companies.'' Section 30(e) (15 U.S.C. 80a-29(e)) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et
seq.) requires a registered investment company (``fund'') to transmit
to its shareholders, at least semi-annually, reports containing
information and financial statements as the Commission may prescribe.
Among other requirements, Rule 30e-1 (17 CFR 270.30e-1) under the
Investment Company Act directs funds to include in the shareholder
reports the information that is required by the fund's registration
statement. Failure to require the collection of this information would
seriously impede the amount of current information available to
shareholders and the public about funds and would prevent the
Commission from implementing the regulatory program required by
statute. The estimated annual number of respondents providing
shareholder reports under Rule 30e-1 is 4,040. The proposed frequency
of response is semi-annual. The estimate of the total annual reporting
burden of the collection of information is approximately 145.8 hours
per shareholder report and the total estimated annual burden for the
industry is 1,178,064 hours (145.8 hours per report x 2 reports x 4,040
funds). Providing the information required by Rule 30e-1 is mandatory.
Responses will not be kept confidential. Estimates of the burden hours
are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and
are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or
study of the costs of SEC rules and forms.
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 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)
