Extension:
Form N–8F; SEC File No. 270–136; OMB
Control No. 3235–0157.
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.
Form N–8F (17 CFR 274.218) is the
form prescribed for use by registered
investment companies in certain
circumstances to request orders of the
Commission declaring that the
registration of that investment company
cease to be in effect. The form requests,
from investment companies seeking a
deregistration order, information about
(i) the investment company’s identity,
(ii) the investment company’s
distributions, (iii) the investment
company’s assets and liabilities, (iv) the
events leading to the request to
deregister, and (v) the conclusion of the
investment company’s business. The
information is needed by the
Commission to determine whether an
order of deregistration is appropriate.
The Form takes approximately 3
hours on average to complete. It is
estimated that approximately 330
investment companies file Form N–8F
annually, so that the total annual
burden for the form is estimated to be
990 hours. The estimate of average
burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative
survey or study.
The collection of information on Form
N–8F is not mandatory. The information
provided on Form N–8F 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 requested on:
(a) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information has practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the Commission’s estimate
of the burdens 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

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’’) 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 155 (17 CFR 230.155) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) provides safe harbors for a
registered offering following an
abandoned private offering, or a private
offering following an abandoned
registered offering, without integrating
the registered and private offerings in
either case. Rule 155 requires any
prospectus filed as a part of a
registration statement after a private
offering to include disclosure regarding
abandonment of the private offering.
Similarly, the rule requires an issuer to
provide each offeree in a private offering
following an abandoned registered
offering with: (1) Information
concerning withdrawal of the
registration statement; (2) the fact that
the private offering is unregistered; and
(3) the legal implications of the
offering’s unregistered status. The likely
respondents will be companies. Rule
155 takes approximately 4 hours per
response to prepare and is filed by 600
respondents. We estimate that 50% of

the 4 hours per response (2 hours per
response) is prepared by the filer for a
total annual reporting burden of 1,200
hours (2 hours per response x 600
responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this 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 imposed by 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
