emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
It is anticipated that 17 respondents,
consisting of 16 national securities
exchanges and one national securities
association, will collectively respond
approximately 839,944,682,631 times
per year pursuant to Rule 602(a) at 18.22
microseconds per response, resulting in
a total annual burden of approximately
4,250 hours.
It is anticipated that approximately
150 respondents, consisting of OTC
market makers, will collectively
respond approximately 28,200,000
times per year pursuant to Rule 602(b)
at 3 seconds per response, resulting in
a total annual burden of approximately
23,500 hours.
Thus, the aggregate third-party
disclosure burden under Rule 602 is
27,750 hours annually which is
comprised of 4,250 hours relating to
Rule 602(a) and 23,500 hours relating to
Rule 602(b).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collections of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of
collections of information on those who
are to respond, 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, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

are OTC market makers or exchange market makers,
the best-priced orders and the full size for such
orders entered by market makers on the ECN, to
satisfy such market makers’ reporting obligation
under Rule 602(b). Since this reporting requirement
is an alternative method of meeting the market
makers’ reporting obligation, and because it is
directed to nine or fewer persons (ECNs), this
collection of information is not subject to OMB
review under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(‘‘PRA’’).

Control No. 3235–0570
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–CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and
274.128) is a combined reporting form
used by registered management
investment companies (‘‘funds’’) to file
certified shareholder reports under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’) and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Specifically,
Form N–CSR is to be used for reports
under section 30(b)(2) of the Investment
Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–29(b)(2))
and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and
78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2–1(a)
under the Investment Company Act (17
CFR 270.30b2–1(a)). Reports on Form N
CSR are to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) no later than 10 days
after the transmission to stockholders of
any report that is required to be
transmitted to stockholders under rule
30e–1 under the Investment Company
Act (17 CFR 270.30e–1).
Form N–CSR is filed semi-annually,
and the Commission estimates that there
are 3,288 respondents. The Commission
also estimates that the average number
of portfolios referenced in each filing is
3.75. The Commission further estimates
that the hour burden for preparing and
filing a report on Form N–CSR is 7.21
hours per portfolio. Given that filings on
Form N–CSR are filed semi-annually,
filings on Form N–CSR require 14.42

hours per portfolio each year. The total
annual hour burden for Form N–CSR,
therefore, is estimated to be 177,799
hours. The estimated total annual cost
burden to respondents for outside
professionals associated with the
collection of data relating to Form N–
CSR is $3,189,771.
The collection of information under
Form N–CSR is 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.
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.

and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and
78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2-1(a) under the Investment Company
Act (17 CFR 270.30b2-1(a)). Reports on Form N CSR are to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') no later than
