Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate before a hearing request/ petition to intervene is filed so that they can obtain access to the document via the E-Filing system. A person filing electronically using the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System Help Desk through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the NRC’s public Web site at https:// www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC Meta System Help Desk is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays. Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copy Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

    Extension: Rules 8b-1 to 8b-33; SEC File No. 270-135, OMB 
Control No. 3235-0176.

    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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rules 8b-1 to 8b-33 (17 CFR 270.8b-1 to 8b-33) under the Investment 
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company 
Act'') set forth the procedures for preparing and filing a registration 
statement under the Investment Company Act. These procedures are 
intended to facilitate the registration process. These rules generally 
do not require respondents to report information.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Although the rules under Section 8(b) of the Investment 
Company Act are generally procedural in nature, two of the rules 
require respondents to disclose some limited information. Rule 8b-3 
(17 CFR 270.8b-3) provides that whenever a registration form 
requires the title of securities to be stated, the registrant must 
indicate the type and general character of the securities to be 
issued. Rule 8b-22 (17 CFR 270.8b-22) provides that if the existence 
of control is open to reasonable doubt, the registrant may disclaim 
the existence of control, but it must state the material facts 
pertinent to the possible existence of control. The information 
required by both of these rules is necessary to insure that 
investors have clear and complete information upon which to base an 
investment decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that it is appropriate to estimate the 
total respondent burden associated with preparing each registration 
statement form rather than attempt to isolate the impact of the 
procedural instructions under Section 8(b) of the Investment Company 
Act, which impose burdens only in the context of the preparation of the 
various registration statement forms. Accordingly, the Commission is 
not submitting a separate burden estimate for rules 8b-1 through 8b-33, 
but instead will include the burden for these rules in its estimates of 
burden for each of the registration forms under the Investment Company 
Act. The Commission is, however, submitting an hourly burden estimate 
of one hour for administrative purposes.
    The collection of information under rules 8b-1 to 8b-33 is 
mandatory. The information provided under rules 8b-1 to 8b-33 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 OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 
information is 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 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.

Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
