Kevin M. O’Neill.
Deputy Secretary.
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 ADV–E (17 CFR 279.8) is the
cover sheet for certificates of accounting
filed pursuant to rule 206(4)–2 under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.206(4)–2). The rule further
requires that the public accountant file
with the Commission a Form ADV–E
and accompanying statement within
four business days of the resignation,
dismissal, removal or other termination
of its engagement. Respondents each
spend approximately three minutes,
annually, complying with the
requirements of the form.
The estimate of burden hours set forth
above is made solely for the purposes of
the Paperwork Reduction Act and is not
derived from a comprehensive or
representative survey or study of the
cost of Commission rules and forms.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the 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 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
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments
to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,

Extension:
Form N–Q, OMB Control No. 3235–0578,
SEC File No. 270–519.
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–Q (17 CFR 249.332 and
274.130) is a combined reporting form
that is used for reports of registered
management investment companies
(‘‘funds’’), other than small business
investment companies registered on
Form N–5, under Section 30(b) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’) and Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Pursuant to
Rule 30b1–5 under the Investment
Company Act, funds are required to file
with the Commission quarterly reports
on Form N–Q not more than 60 days
after the close of the first and third
quarters of each fiscal year containing
their complete portfolio holdings.
Form N–Q contains collection of
information requirements. The
respondents to this information
collection are management investment
companies subject to Rule 30b1–5 under
the Investment Company Act. We
estimate that there are 10,453 portfolios
required to file reports on Form N–Q.
Based on conversations with industry
representatives, we estimate that it takes
approximately 21 hours per portfolio to
prepare Form N–Q. Accordingly, we
estimate that the total annual burden
estimated associated with Form N–Q is
219,513 hours (21 hours per portfolio x
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703

10,453 portfolios) per year. The
estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and are not derived
from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
cost of Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under
Form N–Q is mandatory. The
information provided by the form 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 invited on: (a)
Whether the 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 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
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
