Form N–5, SEC File No. 270–172, OMB
Control No. 3235–0169
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
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below.

Form N–5 (17 CFR 239.24 and 274.5)
is the form used by small business
investment companies (‘‘SBICs’’) to
register their securities under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’) and the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’). Form N–5 is the
registration statement form adopted by
the Commission for use by an SBIC that
has been licensed as such under the
Small Business Investment Act of 1958
or which has received the preliminary
approval of the Small Business
Administration (‘‘SBA’’) and has been
notified by the SBA that the company
may submit a license application Form
N–5 is an integrated registration form
and may be used as the registration
statement under both the Securities Act
and the Investment Company Act. The
purpose of Form N–5 is to meet the
filing and disclosure requirements of
both the Securities Act and Investment
Company Act, and to provide investors
with information sufficient to evaluate
an investment in an SBIC. The
information that is required to be filed
with the Commission permits
verification of compliance with
securities law requirements and assures
the public availability and
dissemination of the information.
The Commission did not receive any
filings on Form N–5 in the last three
years (and in the three years before that,
received only one Form N–5 filing).
Nevertheless, for purposes of this PRA,
we conservatively estimate that at least
one Form N–5 will be filed in the next
three years, which translates to about
0.333 filings on Form N–5 per year. The
currently approved internal burden of
Form N–5 is 352 hours per response. We
continue to believe this estimate for
Form N–5’s internal hour burden is
appropriate. Therefore, the number of
currently approved aggregate burden
hours, when calculated using the
current estimate for number of filings, is
about 117 internal hours per year. The
currently approved external cost burden
of Form N–5 is $30,000 per filing. We
continue to believe this estimate for
Form N–5’s cost burden is appropriate.
Therefore, we estimate that the
aggregate cost burden, when calculated
using the Commission’s estimate of
0.333 filings per year, is about $10,000
in external costs per year.
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.

Form N–4, SEC File No. 270–282, OMB
Control No. 3235–0318.
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
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
The collection of information is
entitled: ‘‘Form N–4 (17 CFR 239.17b)
under the Securities Act of 1933 and (17
CFR 274.11c) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, registration
statement of separate accounts
organized as unit investment trust.’’
Form N–4 is the form used by insurance
company separate accounts organized as
unit investment trusts that offer variable

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2019 / Notices
annuity contracts to register as
investment companies under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) and/or to register
their securities under the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Section
5 of the Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77e)
requires the filing of a registration
statement prior to the offer of securities
to the public and that the registration
statement be effective before any
securities are sold, and Section 8 of the
Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C.
80a–8) provides for the registration of
investment companies. Pursuant to
Form N–4, separate accounts organized
as unit investment trusts that offer
variable annuity contracts provide
investors with a prospectus and a
statement of additional information
covering essential information about a
separate account. Section 5(b) of the
Securities Act requires that investors be
provided with a prospectus containing
the information required in a
registration statement prior to or at the
time of sale or delivery of securities.
The purpose of Form N–4 is to meet
the filing and disclosure requirements of
the Securities Act and the Investment
Company Act and to enable filers to
provide investors with information
necessary to evaluate an investment in
a security. The information required to
be filed with the Commission permits
verification of compliance with
securities law requirements and assures
the public availability and
dissemination of the information.
The estimated annual number of
filings on Form N–4 is 35 initial
registration statements and 1,326 posteffective amendments. The estimated
average number of portfolios per filing
is one, both for initial registration
statements and post-effective
amendments on Form N–4.
Accordingly, the estimated number of
portfolios referenced in initial Form N–
4 filings annually is 35 and the
estimated number of portfolios
referenced in post-effective amendment
filings on Form N–4 annually is 1,326.
The estimate of the annual hour burden
for Form N–4 is approximately 278.5
hours per initial registration statement
and 197.25 hours per post-effective
amendment, for a total of 271,301 hours
((35 initial registration statements ×
278.5 hours) + (1,326 post-effective
amendments × 197.25 hours)).
The current estimated annual cost
burden for preparing an initial Form N–
4 filing is $24,858 per portfolio and the
current estimated annual cost burden
for preparing a post-effective
amendment filing on Form N–4 is
$23,561 per portfolio. The Commission
estimates that, on an annual basis, 35

portfolios will be referenced in initial
Form N–4 filings and 1,326 portfolios
will be referenced in post-effective
amendment filings on Form N–4. Thus,
the estimated total annual cost burden
allocated to Form N–4 would be
$32,111,916 ((35 × $24,858) + (1,326 ×
$23,561)).
Providing the information required by
Form N–4 is mandatory. Responses 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.

and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it

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-4, SEC File No. 270-282, OMB Control No. 3235-0318.
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 (``OMB'') a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
The collection of information is entitled: ``Form N-4 (17 CFR
239.17b) under the Securities Act of 1933 and (17 CFR 274.11c) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, registration statement of separate
accounts organized as unit investment trust.'' Form N-4 is the form
used by insurance company separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable
[[Page 1263]]
annuity contracts to register as investment companies under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) and/or to
register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C.
77a et seq.). Section 5 of the Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77e) requires
the filing of a registration statement prior to the offer of securities
to the public and that the registration statement be effective before
any securities are sold, and Section 8 of the Investment Company Act
(15 U.S.C. 80a-8) provides for the registration of investment
companies. Pursuant to Form N-4, separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable annuity contracts provide
investors with a prospectus and a statement of additional information
covering essential information about a separate account. Section 5(b)
of the Securities Act requires that investors be provided with a
prospectus containing the information required in a registration
statement prior to or at the time of sale or delivery of securities.
The purpose of Form N-4 is to meet the filing and disclosure
requirements of the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act and
to enable filers to provide investors with information necessary to
evaluate an investment in a security. The information required to be
filed with the Commission permits verification of compliance with
securities law requirements and assures the public availability and
dissemination of the information.
The estimated annual number of filings on Form N-4 is 35 initial
registration statements and 1,326 post-effective amendments. The
estimated average number of portfolios per filing is one, both for
initial registration statements and post-effective amendments on Form
N-4. Accordingly, the estimated number of portfolios referenced in
initial Form N-4 filings annually is 35 and the estimated number of
portfolios referenced in post-effective amendment filings on Form N-4
annually is 1,326. The estimate of the annual hour burden for Form N-4
is approximately 278.5 hours per initial registration statement and
197.25 hours per post-effective amendment, for a total of 271,301 hours
((35 initial registration statements x 278.5 hours) + (1,326 post-
effective amendments x 197.25 hours)).
The current estimated annual cost burden for preparing an initial
Form N-4 filing is $24,858 per portfolio and the current estimated
annual cost burden for preparing a post-effective amendment filing on
Form N-4 is $23,561 per portfolio. The Commission estimates that, on an
annual basis, 35 portfolios will be referenced in initial Form N-4
filings and 1,326 portfolios will be referenced in post-effective
amendment filings on Form N-4. Thus, the estimated total annual cost
burden allocated to Form N-4 would be $32,111,916 ((35 x $24,858) +
(1,326 x $23,561)).
Providing the information required by Form N-4 is mandatory.
Responses 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.
