records must be maintained in
accordance with state law.
Rule 3a–8 contains an additional
requirement that is also a collection of
information within the meaning of the
PRA. The board of directors of a
company that relies on the safe harbor
under rule 3a–8 must adopt a written
policy with respect to the company’s
capital preservation investments. We
expect that the board of directors will
base its decision to adopt the resolution
discussed above, in part, on investment
guidelines that the company will follow
to ensure its investment portfolio is in
compliance with the rule’s
requirements.
The collection of information
imposed by rule 3a–8 is voluntary
because the rule is an exemptive safe
harbor, and therefore, R&D companies
may choose whether or not to rely on it.
The purposes of the information
collection requirements in rule 3a–8 are
to ensure that: (i) The board of directors
of an R&D company is involved in
determining whether the company
should be considered an investment
company and subject to regulation
under the Act, and (ii) adequate records
are available for Commission review, if
necessary. Rule 3a–8 would not require
the reporting of any information or the
filing of any documents with the
Commission.
Commission staff estimates that there
is no annual recordkeeping burden
associated with the rule’s requirements.
Nevertheless, the Commission requests
authorization to maintain an inventory
of one burden hour for administrative
purposes.
Commission staff estimates that
approximately 65,139 R&D companies
may take advantage of rule 3a–8.2 Given
that the board resolutions and
investment guidelines will generally
need to be adopted only once (unless
relevant circumstances change),3 the
Commission believes that all the R&D
companies that existed prior to the
adoption of rule 3a–8 adopted their
board resolutions and established
written investment guidelines in 2003
when the rule was adopted. We expect
that R&D companies formed subsequent
to the adoption of rule 3a–8 would
adopt the board resolution and
investment guidelines simultaneously
with their formation documents in the
2 See National Science Foundation/Division of
Science Resources Statistics, Business Research and
Development and Innovation Survey: 2013 (results
published August 2, 2016).
3 In the event of changed circumstances, the
Commission believes that the board resolution and
investment guidelines will be amended and
recorded in the ordinary course of business and
would not create additional time burdens.

ordinary course of business.4 Therefore,
we estimate that rule 3a–8 does not
impose additional burdens.
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.
