Extension: Rule 34b–1; File No. 270–305;
OMB Control No. 3235–0346.
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 collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 34b–1 under the Investment
Company Act (17 CFR 270.34b–1)
governs sales material that accompanies
or follows the delivery of a statutory
prospectus (‘‘sales literature’’).1 Rule
34b–1 deems to be materially
misleading any investment company
sales literature required to be filed with

the Commission by Section 24(b) of the
Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C.
80a–24(b)) 2 that includes performance
data, unless the sales literature also
includes the appropriate uniformly
computed data and the legend
disclosure required in investment
company advertisements by rule 482
under the Securities Act of 1933 (17
CFR 230.482). Requiring the inclusion
of such standardized performance data
in sales literature is designed to prevent
misleading performance claims by funds
and to enable investors to make
meaningful comparisons among fund
performance claims.
The Commission estimates that 3,210
respondents file approximately 13,001
responses with the Commission that
include the information required by rule
34b–1. The burden from rule 34b–1
requires 2.41 hours per response
resulting from creating the information
required under rule 34b–1. The total
burden hours for rule 34b–1 is 31,332
per year in the aggregate (13,001
responses × 2.41 hours per response).
Estimates of average 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 Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under
rule 34b–1 is mandatory. The
information provided under rule 34b–1
is not kept confidential. The
Commission may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
proposed performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether
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
2 Sales literature addressed to or intended for
distribution to prospective investors is deemed filed
with the Commission for purposes of Section 24(b)
of the Investment Company Act upon filing with a
national securities association registered under
Section 15A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that has adopted rules providing standards for the
investment company advertising practices of its
members and has established and implemented
procedures to review that advertising. See Rule
24b–3 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR
270.24b–3).
