Extension: Form N–2, OMB Control No. 3235–0026, SEC File No. 270–21. 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 collections of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. The title for the collection of information is ‘‘Form N–2 (17 CFR 239.14 and 274.11a–1) under the Securities Act of 1933 and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Registration Statement of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.’’ Form N–2 is the form used by closedend management investment companies (‘‘closed-end funds’’) to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) and to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’). The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide disclosure of financial and other information current and potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an investment in a security. Form N–2 also permits closed-end funds to provide investors with a prospectus containing information required in a registration statement prior to the sale or at the time of confirmation of delivery of securities. The form also may be used by the Commission in its regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making roles. The Commission estimates that there are 162 initial registration statements and 29 post-effective amendments to initial registration statements filed on Form N–2 annually and that the average E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1 65718 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Notices number of portfolios referenced in each initial filing and post-effective amendment is 1. The Commission further estimates that the hour burden for preparing and filing an initial registration statement on Form N–2 is 515 hours per portfolio, and the hour burden for preparing and filing a posteffective amendment on Form N–2 is 107 hours per portfolio. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing initial registration statements is 83,430 hours (162 initial registration statements × 1 portfolio × 515 hours per portfolio). The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing posteffective amendments is 3,103 hours (29 post-effective amendments × 1 portfolio × 107 hours per portfolio). The estimated total annual hour burden for Form N–2, therefore, is estimated to be 86,533 hours (83,430 hours + 3,103 hours). The information collection requirements imposed by Form N–2 are 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. The public may view the background documentation for this information collection at the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: Shagufta_ Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or by sending an email to: PRA_Mailbox@ sec.gov.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of extension of the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 15c3–5 (17 CFR 240.15c3–5) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Rule 15c3–5 under the Exchange Act requires brokers or dealers with access to trading directly on an exchange or alternative trading system (‘‘ATS’’), including those providing sponsored or direct market access to customers or other persons, to implement risk management controls and supervisory procedures reasonably designed to manage the financial, regulatory, and other risks of this business activity. The rule requires brokers or dealers to establish, document, and maintain certain risk management controls and supervisory procedures as well as regularly review such controls and procedures, and document the review, and remediate issues discovered to assure overall effectiveness of such controls and procedures. Each such broker or dealer is required to preserve a copy of its supervisory procedures and a written description of its risk management controls as part of its books and records in a manner consistent with Rule 17a–4(e)(7) under the Exchange Act. Such regular review is required to be conducted in accordance with written procedures and is required to be documented. The broker or dealer is required to preserve a copy of such written procedures, and documentation of each such review, as part of its books and records in a manner consistent with Rule 17a–4(e)(7) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 17a–4(b) under the Exchange Act, respectively. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent officer) is required to certify annually that the broker or dealer’s risk management controls and supervisory procedures comply with the rule, and that the broker-dealer conducted such review. Such certifications are required to be preserved by the broker or dealer as part of its books and records in a manner consistent with Rule 17a–4(b) under the Exchange Act. Compliance with Rule 15c3–5 is mandatory. Respondents consist of broker-dealers with access to trading directly on an exchange or ATS. The Commission estimates that there are currently 870 PO 00000 Frm 00114 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 respondents. To comply with Rule 15c3–5, these respondents will spend approximately 139,200 hours per year (160 hours per broker-dealer × 870 broker-dealers = 139,200 hours). At an average internal cost per burden hour of approximately $390.57, the resultant total related internal cost of compliance for these respondents is $54,367,170 per year (139,200 burden hours multiplied by approximately $390.57/hour). In addition, for hardware and software expenses, the Commission estimates that the average annual external cost would be approximately $20,500 per broker-dealer, or $17,835,000 ($20,500 per broker-dealer × 870 broker-dealers = $17,835,000) 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.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
Form N-2, OMB Control No. 3235-0026, SEC File No. 270-21.

    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 collections of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-2 (17 CFR 
239.14 and 274.11a-1) under the Securities Act of 1933 and under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, Registration Statement of Closed-End 
Management Investment Companies.'' Form N-2 is the form used by closed-
end management investment companies (``closed-end funds'') to register 
as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 
U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company Act'') and to register 
their securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) (``Securities Act''). The primary purpose of the registration 
process is to provide disclosure of financial and other information 
current and potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an 
investment in a security. Form N-2 also permits closed-end funds to 
provide investors with a prospectus containing information required in 
a registration statement prior to the sale or at the time of 
confirmation of delivery of securities. The form also may be used by 
the Commission in its regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making 
roles.
    The Commission estimates that there are 162 initial registration 
statements and 29 post-effective amendments to initial registration 
statements filed on Form N-2 annually and that the average

[[Page 65718]]

number of portfolios referenced in each initial filing and post-
effective amendment is 1. The Commission further estimates that the 
hour burden for preparing and filing an initial registration statement 
on Form N-2 is 515 hours per portfolio, and the hour burden for 
preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-2 is 107 
hours per portfolio. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and 
filing initial registration statements is 83,430 hours (162 initial 
registration statements x 1 portfolio x 515 hours per portfolio). The 
estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-effective 
amendments is 3,103 hours (29 post-effective amendments x 1 portfolio x 
107 hours per portfolio). The estimated total annual hour burden for 
Form N-2, therefore, is estimated to be 86,533 hours (83,430 hours + 
3,103 hours).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-2 are 
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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

this notice.
