and the Humanities.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The National Endowment for
the Arts (NEA), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the NEA is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
information collection on arts
participation in the U.S. A copy of the
current information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the address section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
address section below within 60 days
from the date of this publication in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Sunil
Iyengar, National Endowment for the
Arts, via email (research@arts.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NEA
is particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate 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;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

20549–2736
Extension:
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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 $10,100 per filing. The
requested external cost burden for filing
one Form N–5 would be $12,524 per
year. This estimated burden is based on
the estimated wage rate of $496/hour,
for 25.25 hours, for outside legal
services to complete the form and
provide the required hyperlinks.
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.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N–5
is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information will not be
kept confidential. 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 OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’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.

Extension:
Rule 17f–1(b)
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17f–1(b) (17 CFR
240.17f–1(b)), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.). The Commission plans to submit
this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Under Rule 17f–1(b) under the
Exchange Act, approximately 10,000
entities in the securities industry are
registered in the Lost and Stolen
Securities Program (‘‘Program’’).
Registration fulfills a statutory
requirement that entities report and
inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit,
or stolen securities. Registration also
allows entities in the securities industry
to gain access to a confidential database
that stores information for the Program.
The Commission staff estimates that
10 new entities will register in the
Program each year. The staff estimates
that the average number of hours
necessary to comply with Rule 17f–1(b)
is one-half hour. Accordingly, the staff
estimates that total annual burden for all
participants is 5 hours (10 × one-half
hour). The Commission staff estimates
that compliance staff work at subject
entities results in an internal cost of
compliance, at an estimated hourly
wage of $283, of $141.50 per year per
entity (.5 hours × $283 per hour =
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
$141.50 per year). Therefore, the
aggregate annual internal cost of
compliance is approximately $1,415
($141.50 × 10 = $1,415).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget this

or to suspend the duty to file ongoing
reports under Regulation A, an
exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C 77a et
seq.). The purpose of the Form 1–Z is
to collect empirical data for the
Commission on offerings conducted
under Regulation A that have
terminated or completed, to indicate to
the Commission that issuers that have
conducted Tier 2 offering are
suspending their duty to file reports
under Regulation A and to provide such
information to the investing public. We
estimate that approximately 17 issuers
file Form 1–Z annually. We estimate
that Form 1–Z takes approximately 1.5
hours to prepare. We estimate that
100% of the 1.5 hours per response is
prepared by the company for a total
annual burden of 26 hours (1.5 hours
per response × 17 responses).
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.

Form N-5
SEC File No. 270-172, OMB Control No. 3235-0169
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction

Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to

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

(``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 $10,100 per filing. The
requested external cost burden for filing one Form N-5 would be $12,524
per year. This estimated burden is based on the estimated wage rate of
$496/hour, for 25.25 hours, for outside legal services to complete the

Estimates of average burden hours and costs are made solely for the
