Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 28036-28037 [2015-11729]

Download as PDF 28036 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 94 / Friday, May 15, 2015 / Notices addition to its existing authorization for the F&O product category. The amendments do not otherwise change the substantive terms of the service. ICE Clear Europe views Clearstream Banking as substantially similar to Euroclear Bank, the current service provider, from an operational and risk perspective and otherwise in terms of the safeguarding of funds and securities. Clearstream Banking is currently authorized to act as a triparty collateral service provider with respect to original margin for the F&O product category, and based on experience in that product category ICE Clear Europe believes that use of Clearstream Banking can be appropriately extended to the other product categories. As a result, ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed rule change will not adversely affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or control of ICE Clear Europe or for which it is responsible, and are therefore consistent with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F).5 III.

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549–2736. ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed rule change would have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will provide additional flexibility to Clearing Members by permitting the use, on a voluntary basis, of Clearstream Banking as a triparty collateral service provider for original or initial margin for all product categories. The proposed rule change will otherwise not affect the terms or conditions of any cleared contract or the standards or requirements for participation in or use of the Clearing House. Accordingly, the proposed rule change should not, in the Clearing House’s view, affect the availability of clearing, access to clearing services or the costs of clearing for clearing members or other market participants. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES C.

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’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. The title for the collection of information is ‘‘Form N–6 (17 CFR 239.17c and 274.11d) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) registration statement of separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies.’’ Form N–6 is the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and/or to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide disclosure of financial and other information to investors and potential investors for the purpose of 6 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

Form N–6 also requires separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies to provide investors with a prospectus and a statement of additional information (‘‘SAI’’) covering essential information about the separate account when it makes an initial or additional offering of its securities. The Commission estimates that approximately 472 registration statements (396 post-effective amendments plus 76 initial registration statements) are filed on Form N–6 annually. The estimated hour burden per portfolio for preparing and filing an initial registration statement on Form N–6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing initial registration statements is 58,539 hours (76 initial registration statements annually times 770.25 hours per registration statement). The Commission estimates that the hour burden for preparing and filing a posteffective amendment on Form N–6 is 67.5 hours. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing posteffective amendments is 26,730 hours (396 post-effective amendments annually times 67.5 hours per amendment). The frequency of response is annual. The total annual hour burden for Form N–6, therefore, is estimated to be 85,269 hours (58,539 hours for initial registration statements plus 26,730 hours for post-effective amendments). The Commission estimates that the cost burden for preparing an initial Form N–6 filing is $24,169 per portfolio and the current cost burden for preparing a post-effective amendment to a previously effective registration statement is $8,788 per portfolio. The Commission estimates that, on an annual basis, 76 portfolios will be referenced in an initial Form N–6 and 396 portfolios will be referenced in a post-effective amendment of Form N–6. Thus, the total cost burden allocated to Form N–6 would be $5,316,892. The information collection requirements imposed by Form N–6 are mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept confidential. Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and forms. 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.

This document was corrected (with scheduled publication of May 11, 2015) to reflect the fact that the competition was only going to be judged by SBA Officials and other SBIR/STTR Program Managers. The initial and corrected documents did not include a monetary prize to be awarded to the winner. By way of this memo, SBA has made a determination that the document needs to be corrected again to include a prize of $2,500. In the document printed on May 5, 2015, the first full sentence on page 25764 under the caption: ‘‘4. Prizes for Winners’’ did not include the mentioning of any monetary prize for the winner.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Form N-6, SEC File No. 270-446, OMB Control No. 3235-0503.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-6 (17 CFR 
239.17c and 274.11d) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et 
seq.) registration statement of separate accounts organized as unit 
investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies.'' Form 
N-6 is the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized 
as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts 
to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 and/or to register their securities under the Securities Act of 
1933. The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide 
disclosure of financial and other information to investors and 
potential investors for the purpose of

evaluating an investment in a security. Form N-6 also requires separate 
accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable life 
insurance policies to provide investors with a prospectus and a 
statement of additional information (``SAI'') covering essential 
information about the separate account when it makes an initial or 
additional offering of its securities.
    The Commission estimates that approximately 472 registration 
statements (396 post-effective amendments plus 76 initial registration 
statements) are filed on Form N-6 annually. The estimated hour burden 
per portfolio for preparing and filing an initial registration 
statement on Form N-6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated annual hour burden 
for preparing and filing initial registration statements is 58,539 
hours (76 initial registration statements annually times 770.25 hours 
per registration statement). The Commission estimates that the hour 
burden for preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-6 
is 67.5 hours. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing 
post-effective amendments is 26,730 hours (396 post-effective 
amendments annually times 67.5 hours per amendment). The frequency of 
response is annual. The total annual hour burden for Form N-6, 
therefore, is estimated to be 85,269 hours (58,539 hours for initial 
registration statements plus 26,730 hours for post-effective 
amendments).
    The Commission estimates that the cost burden for preparing an 
initial Form N-6 filing is $24,169 per portfolio and the current cost 
burden for preparing a post-effective amendment to a previously 
effective registration statement is $8,788 per portfolio. The 
Commission estimates that, on an annual basis, 76 portfolios will be 
referenced in an initial Form N-6 and 396 portfolios will be referenced 
in a post-effective amendment of Form N-6. Thus, the total cost burden 
allocated to Form N-6 would be $5,316,892.
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-6 are 
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept 
confidential. Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of 
Commission rules and forms. 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,
