The title for the collection of information is ‘‘Rule 0–2 and Form PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44337 ADV–NR under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.’’ Rule 0–2 and Form ADV– NR facilitate service of process on a non-resident investment adviser, or on a non-resident general partner or nonresident managing agent of an investment adviser. Form ADV–NR designates the Secretary of the Commission, among others, as the nonresident general partner’s or nonresident managing agent’s agent for service of process. The collection of information is necessary for us to obtain appropriate consent to permit the Commission and other parties to bring actions against non-resident partners and agents for violations of the federal securities laws and to enable the commencement of legal and/or regulatory actions against investment advisers that are doing business in the United States, but are not residents. The respondents to this information collection would be each non-resident general partner or non-resident managing agent of an SEC-registered investment adviser and each nonresident general partner or non-resident managing agent of an exempt reporting adviser. The Commission has estimated that compliance with the requirement to complete Form ADV–NR imposes a total burden of approximately 1.0 hour for an adviser. Based on our experience with these filings, we estimate that we will receive 53 Form ADV–NR filings annually. Based on the 1.0 hour per respondent estimate, the Commission staff estimates a total annual burden of 53 hours for this collection of information. Rule 0–2 and Form ADV–NR do not require recordkeeping or records retention. The collection of information requirements under the rule and form is mandatory. The information collected pursuant to Rule 0–2 and Form ADV– NR is a filing with the Commission. This filing is not kept confidential and must be preserved until at least three years after termination of the enterprise. 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. The public may view background documentation for this information collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, E:\FR\FM\22JYN1.SGM 22JYN1
