Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 17, 2023 / Notices
plaintiffs may serve process on foreign
entities in actions and administrative
proceedings arising out of or based on
the offer or sales of securities in the
United States by such foreign entities.
The Commission received an average
of 25 Form F–N filings per year over the
last three years (2020–2022). The
Commission has previously estimated
that the total annual burden associated
with information collection and Form
F–N preparation and submission is one
hour per filing. Based on the
Commission’s experience with
disclosure documents generally, the
Commission continues to believe that
this estimate is appropriate. Thus the
estimated total annual burden for rule
489 and Form F–N is 25 hours.
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
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of rule 489
and Form F–N is mandatory to obtain
the benefit of the exemption. 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 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
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
by December 18, 2023.
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.

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.
Rule 609 (17 CFR 230.609) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) requires small business investment
companies and business development
companies that have engaged in
offerings of securities that are exempt
from registration pursuant to Regulation
E under the Securities Act of 1933 (17
CFR 230.601 to 610a) to report semiannually on Form 2–E (17 CFR 239.201)
the progress of the offering. The form
solicits information such as the dates an
offering commenced and was completed
(if completed), the number of shares
sold and still being offered, amounts
received in the offering, and expenses
and underwriting discounts incurred in
the offering. The information provided
on Form 2–E assists the staff in
monitoring the progress of the offering
and in determining whether the offering
has stayed within the limits set for an
offering exempt under Regulation E.
Although there have been no filings of
Form 2–E since 2017, for administrative
purposes the Commission estimates
that, on average, approximately one
respondent submits a Form 2–E filing
each year. The Commission further
estimates that this information
collection imposes an annual burden of
four hours and imposes no annual
external cost burden.
The collection of information under
Form 2–E is mandatory. The
information provided by the form will
not be kept confidential. An agency may

whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper

Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

information collected; and (d) ways to

business development companies that have engaged in offerings of
