The Exchange proposes to increase the monthly fees for the forgoing ports to the following rates: $750 per port for Logical Ports, Spin Ports and GRP Ports and $1,000 per port for Bulk Ports. The Exchange notes the proposed fee change better enables it to continue to maintain and improve its market technology and services and also notes that the proposed fee amount, even as amended, continues to be in line with, or even lower than, amounts assessed by other exchanges for similar connections, including the Exchange’s affiliated options exchanges.6 3 Logical Ports include FIX and BOE ports (used for order entry), drop logical port (which grants users the ability to receive and/or send drop copies) and ports that are used for receipt of certain market data feeds. 4 Spin Ports and GRP Ports are used to request and receive a retransmission of data from the Exchange’s Multicast PITCH data feeds. 5 Bulk Quoting Capabilities Ports provide users with the ability to submit and update multiple bids and offers in one message through logical ports enabled for bulk-quoting. 6 See, e.g., Cboe C2 Options Exchange Fee Schedule, Options Logical Port Fees, Cboe BZX Options Exchange Fee Schedule, Options Logical Port Fees and Cboe Exchange Fees Schedule, Logical Connectivity Fees; see also The Nasdaq Stock Market Options Pricing Schedule, Section 3 Nasdaq Options Market—Ports and Other Services.

    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-6F (17 CFR 
274.15), Notice of Intent to Elect to be Subject to Sections 55 through 
65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.'' The purpose of Form N-6F is 
to notify the Commission of a company's intent to file a notification 
of election to become subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``1940 
Act''). Certain companies may have to make a filing with the Commission 
before they are ready to elect to be regulated as a business 
development company.\1\ A company that is excluded from the definition 
of ``investment company'' by Section 3(c)(1) because it has fewer than 
one hundred shareholders and is not making a public offering of its 
securities may lose such an exclusion solely because it proposes to 
make a public offering of securities as a business development company. 
Such company, under certain conditions, would not lose its exclusion if 
it notifies the Commission on Form N-6F of its intent to make an 
election to be regulated as a business development company. The company 
only has to file a Form N-6F once.

Sections 55 through 65 of the 1940 Act because its capital structure 
or management compensation plan is not yet in compliance with the 
requirements of those sections.

    The Commission estimates that on average approximately 9 companies 
file these notifications each year. Each of those companies need only 
make a single filing of Form N-6F. The Commission further estimates 
that this information collection imposes burden of 0.5 hours, resulting 
in a total annual PRA burden of 4.5 hours. Based on the estimated wage 
rate, the total cost to the industry of the hour burden for complying 
with Form N-6F would be approximately $1,912.50.
    The collection of information under Form N-6F is mandatory. The 
information provided under the form is not 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
