New Generic ICR: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
SEC File No. 270–789, OMB Control No.
3235–XXXX.
As part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process to seek feedback from the
public on service delivery, the
Securities and Exchange Commission
has submitted a Generic Information
Collection Request (Generic ICR):
‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery ’’ to OMB for approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean

information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Below is the projected average
estimates for the next three years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Expected Annual Number of
activities: [10].
Respondents: [20,000].
Annual responses: [20,000].
Frequency of Response: Once per

Average minutes per response: [10].
Burden hours: [3500].
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

estimates of the burden of the proposed

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

Extension:
Form N–8A. SEC File No. 270–135, OMB
Control No. 3235–0175.
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 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.
The Investment Company Act of 1940
(‘‘Investment Company Act’’) (15 U.S.C.
80a–1 et seq.) requires investment
companies to register with the
Commission before they conduct any
business in interstate commerce.
Section 8(a) of the Investment Company
Act provides that an investment
company shall be deemed to be
registered upon receipt by the
Commission of a notification of

04AUN1
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 149 / Tuesday, August 4, 2015 / Notices
registration in such form as the
Commission prescribes. Form N–8A (17
CFR 274.10) is the form for notification
of registration that the Commission has
adopted under section 8(a). The purpose
of such notification of registration
provided on Form N–8A is to notify the
Commission of the existence of
investment companies required to be
registered under the Investment
Company Act and to enable the
Commission to administer the
provisions of the Investment Company
Act with respect to those companies.
After an investment company has filed
its notification of registration under
section 8(a), the company is then subject
to the provisions of the Investment
Company Act which govern certain
aspects of its organization and activities,
such as the composition of its board of
directors and the issuance of senior
securities. Form N–8A requires an
investment company to provide its
name, state of organization, form of
organization, classification, the name
and address of each investment adviser
of the investment company, the current
value of its total assets, and certain
other information readily available to
the investment company. If the
investment company is filing a
registration statement as required by
Section 8(b) of the Investment Company
Act concurrently with its notification of
registration, Form N–8A requires only
that the registrant file the cover page
(giving its name, address, and agent for
service of process) and sign the form in
order to effect registration.
Based on recent filings of notifications
of registration on Form N–8A, we
estimate that about 92 investment
companies file such notifications each
year. An investment company must only
file a notification of registration on
Form N–8A once. The currently
approved average hour burden per
investment company of preparing and
filing a notification of registration on
Form N–8A is one hour. Based on the
Commission staff’s experience with the
requirements of Form N–8A and with
disclosure documents generally—and
considering that investment companies
that are filing notifications of
registration on Form N–8A
simultaneously with the registration
statement under the Investment
Company Act are only required by Form
N–8A to file a signed cover page—we
continue to believe that this estimate is
appropriate. Therefore, we estimate that
the total annual hour burden to prepare
and file notifications of registration on
Form N–8A is 92 hours. The currently
approved cost burden of Form N–8A is
$443 per filing. We are updating the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:45 Aug 03, 2015
Jkt 235001
estimated cost burden to $449 to
account for the effects of inflation.
Therefore, we estimate that the total
annual cost burden to associated with
preparing and filing notifications of
registration on Form N–8A is about
$41,308.
Estimates of average burden hours
and costs 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 costs of
Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N–8A
is 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 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.

comments and suggestions submitted in

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:
Form N-8A. SEC File No. 270-135, OMB Control No. 3235-0175.
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
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.
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company Act'') (15
U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) requires investment companies to register with
the Commission before they conduct any business in interstate commerce.
Section 8(a) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment
company shall be deemed to be registered upon receipt by the Commission
of a notification of
[[Page 46369]]
registration in such form as the Commission prescribes. Form N-8A (17
CFR 274.10) is the form for notification of registration that the
Commission has adopted under section 8(a). The purpose of such
notification of registration provided on Form N-8A is to notify the
Commission of the existence of investment companies required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act and to enable the
Commission to administer the provisions of the Investment Company Act
with respect to those companies. After an investment company has filed
its notification of registration under section 8(a), the company is
then subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act which
govern certain aspects of its organization and activities, such as the
composition of its board of directors and the issuance of senior
securities. Form N-8A requires an investment company to provide its
name, state of organization, form of organization, classification, the
name and address of each investment adviser of the investment company,
the current value of its total assets, and certain other information
readily available to the investment company. If the investment company
is filing a registration statement as required by Section 8(b) of the
Investment Company Act concurrently with its notification of
registration, Form N-8A requires only that the registrant file the
cover page (giving its name, address, and agent for service of process)
and sign the form in order to effect registration.
Based on recent filings of notifications of registration on Form N-
8A, we estimate that about 92 investment companies file such
notifications each year. An investment company must only file a
notification of registration on Form N-8A once. The currently approved
average hour burden per investment company of preparing and filing a
notification of registration on Form N-8A is one hour. Based on the
Commission staff's experience with the requirements of Form N-8A and
with disclosure documents generally--and considering that investment
companies that are filing notifications of registration on Form N-8A
simultaneously with the registration statement under the Investment
Company Act are only required by Form N-8A to file a signed cover
page--we continue to believe that this estimate is appropriate.
Therefore, we estimate that the total annual hour burden to prepare and
file notifications of registration on Form N-8A is 92 hours. The
currently approved cost burden of Form N-8A is $443 per filing. We are
updating the estimated cost burden to $449 to account for the effects
of inflation. Therefore, we estimate that the total annual cost burden
to associated with preparing and filing notifications of registration
on Form N-8A is about $41,308.
Estimates of average burden hours and costs 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 costs of
Commission rules and forms. Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N-8A is 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 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
