SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270–464, OMB Control No.
3235–0527]
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: Rule 7d–2.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 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.
In Canada, as in the United States,
individuals can invest a portion of their
earnings in tax-deferred retirement
savings accounts (‘‘Canadian retirement
accounts’’). These accounts, which
operate in a manner similar to
individual retirement accounts in the
United States, encourage retirement
savings by permitting savings on a taxdeferred basis. Individuals who
establish Canadian retirement accounts
while living and working in Canada and
who later move to the United States
(‘‘Canadian-U.S. Participants’’ or
‘‘participants’’) often continue to hold
their retirement assets in their Canadian
retirement accounts rather than
prematurely withdrawing (or ‘‘cashing
out’’) those assets, which would result
in immediate taxation in Canada.
Once in the United States, however,
these participants historically have been
unable to manage their Canadian
retirement account investments. Most
investment companies (‘‘funds’’) that
PO 00000
Frm 00138
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15357
are ‘‘qualified companies’’ for Canadian
retirement accounts are not registered
under the U.S. securities laws.
Securities of those unregistered funds,
therefore, generally cannot be publicly
offered and sold in the United States
without violating the registration
requirement of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company
Act’’).1 As a result of this registration
requirement, Canadian-U.S. Participants
previously were not able to purchase or
exchange securities for their Canadian
retirement accounts as needed to meet
their changing investment goals or
income needs.
The Commission issued a rulemaking
in 2000 that enabled Canadian-U.S.
Participants to manage the assets in
their Canadian retirement accounts by
providing relief from the U.S.
registration requirements for offers of
securities of foreign issuers to CanadianU.S. Participants and sales to Canadian
retirement accounts.2 Rule 7d–2 under
the Investment Company Act 3 permits
foreign funds to offer securities to
Canadian-U.S. Participants and sell
securities to Canadian retirement
accounts without registering as
investment companies under the
Investment Company Act.
Rule 7d–2 contains a ‘‘collection of
information’’ requirement within the
meaning of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.4 Rule 7d–2 requires written
offering materials for securities offered
or sold in reliance on that rule to
disclose prominently that those
securities and the fund issuing those
securities are not registered with the
Commission, and that those securities
and the fund issuing those securities are
exempt from registration under U.S.
securities laws. Rule 7d–2 does not
require any documents to be filed with
the Commission.
Rule 7d–2 requires written offering
documents for securities offered or sold
in reliance on the rule to disclose
prominently that the securities are not
registered with the Commission and
may not be offered or sold in the United
States unless registered or exempt from
1 15 U.S.C. 80a. In addition, the offering and
selling of securities that are not registered pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’) is
generally prohibited by U.S. securities laws. 15
U.S.C. 77.
2 See Offer and Sale of Securities to Canadian
Tax-Deferred Retirement Savings Accounts, Release
Nos. 33–7860, 34–42905, IC–24491 (June 7, 2000)
[65 FR 37672 (June 15, 2000)]. This rulemaking also
included new rule 237 under the Securities Act,
permitting securities of foreign issuers to be offered
to Canadian-U.S. Participants and sold to Canadian
retirement accounts without being registered under
the Securities Act. 17 CFR 230.237.
