Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory
Committee; Open Committee Meetings
According to the provisions of section
10 of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (Pub. L. 92–463), notice is hereby
given that a meeting of the Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
will be held on Thursday, October 11,
2007. The meetings will start at 10 a.m.
and will be held in Room 5A06A, U.S.
Office of Personnel Management
Building, 1900 E Street, NW.,
Washington, DC.
The planned agenda for the
Committee meeting includes—
Old Business
• Working Group—Strategic vs.
Tactical Issues
• Review of the Narragansett Bay,
Rhode Island, Federal Wage System
Wage Area
• Review of the New Haven-Hartford,
Connecticut, Federal Wage System

representatives from labor unions
holding exclusive bargaining rights for
Federal blue-collar employees, and five
representatives from Federal agencies.
Entitlement to membership on the

Committee is provided for in 5 U.S.C.
5347.
The Committee’s primary
responsibility is to review the Prevailing
Rate System and other matters pertinent
to establishing prevailing rates under
subchapter IV, chapter 53, 5 U.S.C., as
amended, and from time to time advise
the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management.
These scheduled meetings will start
in open session with both labor and
management representatives attending.
During the meetings either the labor
members or the management members
may caucus separately with the Chair to
devise strategy and formulate positions.
Premature disclosure of the matters
discussed in these caucuses would
unacceptably impair the ability of the
Committee to reach a consensus on the
matters being considered and would
disrupt substantially the disposition of
its business. Therefore, these caucuses
will be closed to the public because of
a determination made by the Director of
the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management under the provisions of
section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463) and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). These caucuses
may, depending on the issues involved,
constitute a substantial portion of a
meeting.
Annually, the Chair compiles a report
of pay issues discussed and concluded
recommendations. These reports are
available to the public, upon written
request to the Committee.
The public is invited to submit
material in writing to the Chair on
Federal Wage System pay matters felt to
be deserving of the Committee’s
attention. Additional information on
these meetings may be obtained by
contacting the Committee at U.S. Office
of Personnel Management, Federal
Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee,

COMMISSION
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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Regulation A (17 CFR 230.251
through 230.263) provides an exemption
from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) for
certain limited securities offerings by
issuers who do not otherwise file
reports with the Commission. Form 1–
A is an offering statement filed under
Regulation A. Form 2–A is used to
report sales and use of proceeds in
Regulation A offerings. All information
is provided to the public for review. The
information required is filed on
occasion and is mandatory. We estimate
approximately 100 issuers file Forms 1–
A and 2–A annually. We estimate that
Form 1–A takes 608 hours to prepare,
Form 2–A takes 12 hours to prepare,
and Regulation A takes one
administrative hour to review for a total
of 621 hours per response. We estimate
that 75% of 621 hours per response
(465.75 hours) is prepared by the
company for a total annual burden of
46,575 hours (465.75 x 100 responses).
An agency may 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 regarding the
above information should be directed to
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer
for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and

Extension: Form N–1A; SEC File No. 270–21;
OMB Control No. 3235–0307.
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.
Form N–1A (17 CFR 239.15A and
274.11A) is the form used by open-end
management investment companies
(‘‘funds’’) 1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’)
and/or to register their securities under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a
et seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’). Section 5 of
the Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77e)
requires the filing of a registration
statement prior to the offer of securities
to the public and that the statement be
effective before any securities are sold,
and Section 8 of the Investment
Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–8) requires
a fund to register as an investment
company. Form N–1A also permits
funds to provide investors with a
prospectus and a statement of additional
information (‘‘SAI’’) covering essential
information about the fund when it
makes an initial or additional offering of
its securities. Section 5(b) of the
Securities Act requires that investors be
provided with a prospectus containing
the information required in a
registration statement prior to the sale or
at the time of confirmation or delivery
of the securities. The form also may be
1 Management investment companies typically
issue shares representing an undivided
proportionate interest in a changing pool of
securities, and include open-end and closed-end
companies. See T. Lemke, G. Lins, A. Smith III,
REGULATION OF INVESTMENT COMPANIES,
Vol. I, ch. 4, § 4.04, at 4–5 (2002). An open-end
company is a management company that is offering
for sale or has outstanding any redeemable
securities of which it is the issuer. A closed-end
company is any management company other than
an open-end company. See Section 5 of the
Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–5). Openend companies generally offer and sell new shares
to the public on a continuous basis. Closed-end
companies generally engage in traditional
underwritten offerings of a fixed number of shares
and, in most cases, do not offer their shares to the
public on a continuous basis.

used by the Commission in its
regulatory review, inspection, and
policy-making roles.
The Commission estimates that there
are 77 initial registration statements and
2,320 post-effective amendments to
initial registration statements filed on
Form N–1A annually and that the
average number of portfolios referenced
in each initial filing and post-effective
amendment is 4.9. The Commission
further estimates that the hour burden
for preparing and filing a post-effective
amendment on Form N–1A is 111 hours
per portfolio. The total annual hour
burden for preparing and filing posteffective amendments is 1,261,848
hours (2,320 post-effective amendments
× 4.9 portfolios × 111 hours per
portfolio). The estimated annual hour
burden for preparing and filing initial
registration statements is 313,336 hours
(77 initial registration statements × 4.9
portfolios × 830.47 hours per portfolio).
The total annual hour burden for Form
N–1A, therefore, is estimated to be
1,575,184 hours (1,261,848 hours +
313,336 hours).
The information collection
requirements imposed by Form N–1A
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.
