DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Information in this system is stored
electronically on digital storage devices
or as hard copy files. All record storage
procedures are in accordance with
current applicable regulations.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrievable by database
management systems software designed
to retrieve data elements based upon
role-based user access privileges.
Records may be retrieved by personal
identifiers such as, but not limited to,
name, social security number, date of
birth, or telephone number. Records
may also be retrieved by non-personal
information such as file number, entity/

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 128 / Monday, July 6, 2015 / Notices
establishing a secure environment for
exchanging electronic information.
Physical access to the data system
housed within the facility is controlled
by Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) compliant access
controlled systems. The entire complex
is patrolled by security during nonbusiness hours. The computer system
offers a high degree of resistance to
tampering and circumvention and limits
data access to Board and contract staff
on a need-to-know basis. Individuals’
ability to access and alter records within
the system is controlled. All users of the
system of records are provided a unique
user identification (ID) with personal
identifiers. User IDs are consistent with
the above referenced role-based access
privileges to maintain proper security of
law enforcement and any other sensitive
information. In concert with access
controls, audit trails are used to record
user and system activity within the
system and its associated applications.
Paper records are maintained in file
cabinets which may be locked or in
specified areas to which only authorized
personnel have access.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
Board personnel will review records
on a periodic basis to determine
whether they should be retained or
modified. Further, the Board will retain

Form N–Q; OMB Control No. 3235–0578,
SEC File No. 270–519.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), 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–Q (17 CFR 249.332 and
274.130) is a reporting form used by
registered management investment
companies, other than small business
investment companies registered on
Form N–5 (‘‘funds’’), under Section
30(b) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.)
(‘‘Investment Company Act’’) and
Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.). Pursuant to Rule 30b1–5 under the
Investment Company Act, funds are
required to file quarterly reports with
the Commission on Form N–Q not more
than 60 days after the close of the first
and third quarters of each fiscal year
containing their complete portfolio
holdings. Additionally, fund
management is required to evaluate the
effectiveness of the fund’s disclosure
controls and procedures within the 90day period prior to the filing of a report
on Form N–Q, and such report must
also be signed and certified by the
fund’s principal executive and financial
officers.
We estimate that there are 11,348
funds required to file reports on Form
N–Q. Based on staff experience and
conversations with industry
representatives, we estimate that it takes
approximately 26 hours per fund to
prepare reports on Form N–Q annually.
Accordingly, we estimate that the total
annual burden associated with Form N–
Q is 295,048 hours (26 hours per fund
× 11,348 funds) per year.
The 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
representative survey or study of the
cost of Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under
Form N–Q is mandatory. The
information provided by the form is not
kept confidential. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING,
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
Information in this system is stored electronically on digital
storage devices or as hard copy files. All record storage procedures
are in accordance with current applicable regulations.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrievable by database management systems software
designed to retrieve data elements based upon role-based user access
privileges. Records may be retrieved by personal identifiers such as,
but not limited to, name, social security number, date of birth, or
telephone number. Records may also be retrieved by non-personal
information such as file number, entity/institution name, subject
matter, agency involved, or other information.
SAFEGUARDS:
The Board has minimized the risk of unauthorized access to the
system by
[[Page 38480]]
establishing a secure environment for exchanging electronic
information. Physical access to the data system housed within the
facility is controlled by Federal Information Processing Standards
(FIPS) compliant access controlled systems. The entire complex is
patrolled by security during non-business hours. The computer system
offers a high degree of resistance to tampering and circumvention and
limits data access to Board and contract staff on a need-to-know basis.
Individuals' ability to access and alter records within the system is
controlled. All users of the system of records are provided a unique
user identification (ID) with personal identifiers. User IDs are
consistent with the above referenced role-based access privileges to
maintain proper security of law enforcement and any other sensitive
information. In concert with access controls, audit trails are used to
record user and system activity within the system and its associated
applications.
Paper records are maintained in file cabinets which may be locked
or in specified areas to which only authorized personnel have access.
RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
Board personnel will review records on a periodic basis to
determine whether they should be retained or modified. Further, the
Board will retain and dispose of these records in accordance with Board
Records Control Schedules approved by the National Archives and Records
Administration.
