Extension: Rule 6e-2 and Form N-6EI-1
    OMB Control No. 3235-0177, SEC File No. 270-177

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 6e-2 (17 CFR 270.6e-2) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive rule that provides 
separate accounts formed by life insurance companies to fund certain 
variable life insurance products, exemptions from certain provisions of 
the Act, subject to conditions set forth in the rule. The rule sets 
forth several information collection requirements.
    Rule 6e-2 provides a separate account with an exemption from the 
registration provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if the account files 
with the Commission Form N-6EI-1 (17 CFR 274.301), a notification of 
claim of exemption.
    The rule also exempts a separate account from a number of other 
sections of the Act, provided that the separate account makes certain 
disclosure in its registration statements (in the case of those 
separate account that elect to register), reports to contractholders, 
proxy solicitations, and submissions to state regulatory authorities, 
as prescribed by the rule.
    Paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e-2 provides an exemption from the 
requirements of section 17(f) of the Act and imposes a reporting burden 
and certain other conditions. Section 17(f) requires that every 
registered management company meet various custody requirements for its 
securities and similar investments. The exemption provided in paragraph 
(b)(9) applies only to management accounts that offer life insurance 
contracts.
    Since 2008, there have been no filings under paragraph (b)(9) of 
rule 6e-2 by management accounts. Therefore, since 2008, there has been 
no cost or burden to the industry regarding the information collection 
requirements of paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e-2. In addition, there have 
been no filings of Form N-6EI-1 by separate accounts since 2008. 
Therefore, there has been no cost or burden to the industry since that 
time. The Commission requests authorization to maintain an inventory of 
one burden hour for administrative purposes.
    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.

information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.
