hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 2006 / Notices
has obtained from each applicable
investor written or implied consent to
the householding of shareholder reports
at such address. The rule requires UITs
that wish to household shareholder
reports with implied consent to send a
notice to each applicable investor
stating that the investors in the
household will receive one report in the
future unless the investors provide
contrary instructions. In addition, at
least once a year, UITs relying on the
rule for householding must explain to
investors who have provided written or
implied consent how they can revoke
their consent. Preparing and sending the
initial notice and the annual
explanation of the right to revoke
consent are collections of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
The purpose of the notice and annual
explanation requirements associated
with the householding provisions of the
rule is to ensure that investors who wish
to receive individual copies of
shareholder reports are able to do so.
The Commission estimates that as of
April 2006, approximately 737 UITs
were subject to the provisions of Rule
30e–2. The Commission further
estimates that the annual burden
associated with Rule 30e–2 is 121 hours
for each UIT, including an estimated 20
hours associated with the notice
requirement for householding and an
estimated 1 hour associated with the
explanation of the right to revoke
consent to householding, for a total of
89,177 burden hours.
In addition to the burden hours, the
Commission estimates that the cost of
contracting for outside services
associated with complying with Rule
30e–2 is $24,640 per respondent (80
hours times $308 per hour for
independent auditor services), for a total
of $18,159,680 ($24,640 per respondent
times 737 respondents).
These estimates 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 Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under
Rule 30e–2 is mandatory. The
information provided under Rule 30e–2
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.

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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget these
requests for extension of the previously
approved collections of information
discussed below.
Rule 12d1–3 (17 CFR 240.12d1–3)
requires a certification that a security
has been approved by an exchange for
listing and registration pursuant to
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(d)) to be filed
with the Commission. The information
required under Rule 12d1–3 must be
filed with the Commission and is
publicly available. We estimate that it
takes approximately one-half hour to
provide the information required under
Rule 12d1–3 and that the information is
filed by 688 respondents annually for a
total annual reporting burden of 344
burden hours (.5 hours per response ×
688 responses).
Schedule 13E–4F (17 CFR 240.13e–
102) may be used by any foreign private
issuer if: (1) The issuer is incorporated
or organized under the laws of Canada;
(2) the issuer is making a cash tender or
exchange offer for the issuer’s own
securities; and (3) less than 40 percent
of the class of such issuer’s securities

outstanding that is the subject of the
tender offer is held by U.S. holders. The
information collected must be filed with
the Commission and is publicly
available. We estimate that it takes 2
hours per response to prepare Schedule
13E–4F and that the information is filed
by 3 respondents annually for a total
annual reporting burden of 6 hours (2
hours per response × 3 responses).
Form F–X (17 CFR 239. 42) is used to
appoint an agent for service of process
by Canadian issuers registering
securities on Form F–7, F–8, F–9 or F–
10 or filing periodic reports on Form
40–F under the Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The information
collected must be filed with the
Commission and is publicly available.
We estimate that it takes 2 hours per
response to prepare Form F–X and that
the information is filed by 129
respondents for a total annual reporting
burden of 258 hours (2 hours per
response × 129 responses).
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.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 2006 / Notices
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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form N–6 (17 CFR
239.17c and 274.11d) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) and under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) registration statement of separate
accounts organized as unit investment
trusts that offer variable life insurance
policies.’’ Form N–6 is the form used by
insurance company separate accounts
organized as unit investment trusts that
offer variable life insurance contracts to
register as investment companies under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
and/or to register their securities under
the Securities Act of 1933. The primary
purpose of the registration process is to
provide disclosure of financial and
other information to investors and
potential investors for the purpose of
evaluating an investment in a security.
Form N–6 also permits separate
accounts organized as unit investment
trusts that offer variable life insurance
contracts to provide investors with a
prospectus containing information
required in a registration statement prior
to the sale or at the time of confirmation
of delivery of securities. The form also
may be used by the Commission in its
regulatory review, inspection, and
policy-making roles.
The Commission estimates that there
are approximately 241 separate accounts
registered as unit investment trusts and
offering variable life insurance policies
that file registration statements on Form
N–6. The Commission estimates that
there are 32 initial registration
statements on Form N–6 filed annually.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 641 registration
statements (609 post-effective
amendments plus 32 initial registration
statements) are filed on Form N–6
annually. The Commission estimates
that the hour burden for preparing and
filing a post-effective amendment on
Form N–6 is 67.5 hours. The total
annual hour burden for preparing and
filing post-effective amendments is
41,107.5 hours (609 post-effective
amendments annually times 67.5 hours
per amendment). The estimated hour
burden for preparing and filing an
initial registration statement on Form
N–6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated
annual hour burden for preparing and
filing initial registration statements is
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
24,648 hours (32 initial registration
statements annually times 770.25 hours
per registration statement). The
frequency of response is annual. The
total annual hour burden for Form N–
6, therefore, is estimated to be 65,755.5
hours (41,107.5 hours for post-effective
amendments plus 24,648 hours for
initial registration statements).
The information collection
requirements imposed by Form N–6 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection
of information will not be 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.

The proposed frequency of response is
annual. The estimate of the total annual

total of 386,959.5 hours ((48 initial
registration statements × 278.5 hours) +
(1,894 post-effective amendments ×

required by Form N–4 is mandatory.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC

Extension: Form N-6; SEC File No. 270-446; OMB Control No. 3235-

[[Page 76006]]
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'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved collection
of information discussed below.
The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-6 (17 CFR
239.17c and 274.11d) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et
seq.) registration statement of separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies.'' Form
N-6 is the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized
as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts
to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and/or to register their securities under the Securities Act of
1933. The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide
disclosure of financial and other information to investors and
potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an investment in a
security. Form N-6 also permits separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts to
provide investors with a prospectus containing information required in
a registration statement prior to the sale or at the time of
confirmation of delivery of securities. The form also may be used by
the Commission in its regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making
roles.
The Commission estimates that there are approximately 241 separate
accounts registered as unit investment trusts and offering variable
life insurance policies that file registration statements on Form N-6.
The Commission estimates that there are 32 initial registration
statements on Form N-6 filed annually. The Commission estimates that
approximately 641 registration statements (609 post-effective
amendments plus 32 initial registration statements) are filed on Form
N-6 annually. The Commission estimates that the hour burden for
preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-6 is 67.5
hours. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-
effective amendments is 41,107.5 hours (609 post-effective amendments
annually times 67.5 hours per amendment). The estimated hour burden for
preparing and filing an initial registration statement on Form N-6 is
770.25 hours. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing
initial registration statements is 24,648 hours (32 initial
registration statements annually times 770.25 hours per registration
statement). The frequency of response is annual. The total annual hour
burden for Form N-6, therefore, is estimated to be 65,755.5 hours
(41,107.5 hours for post-effective amendments plus 24,648 hours for
initial registration statements).
The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-6 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be 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.
Please direct general comments regarding the above information to
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or e-mail to: David--

mail to: PRA--Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within
30 days of this notice.
