Rule 607 under Regulation E (17 CFR 230.607) entitled, ‘‘Sales material to be filed,’’ requires sales material used in connection with securities offerings VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:20 Oct 03, 2007 Jkt 214001 under Regulation E (17 CFR 230.601 to 610a) to be filed with the Commission at least five days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to its use.1 Regulation E allows the exemption of securities issued by a small business investment company (‘‘SBIC’’) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) or a closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (‘‘BDC’’) under the Investment Company Act from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.), so long as the aggregate offering price of all securities of the issuer that may be sold within a 12-month period does not exceed $5,000,000 and certain other conditions are met. Commission staff reviews sales material filed under rule 607 for materially misleading statements and omissions. The requirements of rule 607 are designed for investor protection. Respondents to this collection of information include SBICs and BDCs making an offering of securities pursuant to Regulation E. Each respondent’s reporting burden under rule 607 relates to the burden associated with filing its sales material electronically. The burden of filing electronically, however, is negligible and there have been no filings made under this rule, so this collection of information does not impose any burden on the industry. However, we are requesting one annual response and an annual burden of one hour for administrative purposes. The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and is not derived from a quantitative, comprehensive, or even representative survey or study of the burdens associated with Commission rules and forms. The requirements of this collection of information are mandatory. Responses 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. General 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 1 Sales material includes advertisements, articles or other communications to be published in newspapers, magazines, or other periodicals; radio and television scripts; and letters, circulars or other written communications proposed to be sent given or otherwise communicated to more than ten persons.
