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.
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.
