Rule 204A–1
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 collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.

The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Rule 204A–1 (17 CFR
275.204A–1) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940’’ (15 U.S.C. 80b–
1 et seq.) Rule 204A–1 (the ‘‘Code of
Ethics Rule’’) requires investment
advisers registered with the Commission
to (i) set forth standards of conduct
expected of advisory personnel
(including compliance with the federal
securities laws); (ii) safeguard material
nonpublic information about client
transactions; and (iii) require the
adviser’s ‘‘access persons’’ to report
their personal securities transactions,
including transactions in any mutual
fund managed by the adviser. The Code
of Ethics Rule requires access persons to
obtain the adviser’s approval before
investing in an initial public offering or
private placement. The Code of Ethics
Rule also requires prompt reporting, to
the adviser’s chief compliance officer or
another person designated in the code of
ethics, of any violations of the code.
Finally, the Code of Ethics Rule requires
the adviser to provide each supervised
person with a copy of the code and any
amendments, and require the
supervised persons to acknowledge, in
writing, their receipt of these copies.
The purposes of the information
collection requirements are to: (i)
Ensure that advisers maintain codes of
ethics applicable to their supervised
persons; (ii) provide advisers with
information about the personal
securities transactions of their access
persons for purposes of monitoring such
transactions; (iii) provide advisory
clients with information with which to
evaluate advisers’ codes of ethics; and
(iv) assist the Commission’s
examination staff in assessing the
adequacy of advisers’ codes of ethics
and assessing personal trading activity
by advisers’ supervised persons.
The respondents to this information
collection are investment advisers
registered with the Commission. The
Commission has estimated that
compliance with rule 204A–1 imposes a
burden of approximately 91 hours per
adviser annually for an estimated total
annual burden of 1,194,133 hours.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’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
publication.
