The Investment Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) requires investment companies to register with the Commission before they conduct any business in interstate commerce. Section 8(a) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment company shall be deemed to be registered upon receipt by the Commission of a notification of registration in such form as the Commission prescribes. Form N–8A (17 CFR 274.10) is the form for notification of registration that the Commission has adopted under section 8(a). The purpose of such notification of registration provided on Form N–8A is to notify the Commission of the existence of investment companies required to be registered under the Investment Company Act and to enable the Commission to administer the provisions of the Investment Company Act with respect to those companies. After an investment company has filed its notification of registration under section 8(a), the company is then subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act which govern certain aspects of its organization and activities, 22 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:26 Feb 25, 2025 Jkt 265001 such as the composition of its board of directors and the issuance of senior securities. Form N–8A requires an investment company to provide its name, state of organization, form of organization, classification, the name and address of each investment adviser of the investment company, the current value of its total assets, and certain other information readily available to the investment company. If the investment company is filing a registration statement as required by Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act concurrently with its notification of registration, Form N–8A requires only that the registrant file the cover page (giving its name, address, and agent for service of process) and sign the form in order to effect registration. Based on recent filings of notifications of registration on Form N–8A, we estimate that about 99 investment companies file such notifications each year. An investment company must only file a notification of registration on Form N–8A once. The currently approved average hour burden per investment company of preparing and filing a notification of registration on Form N–8A is one hour. Based on the Commission staff’s experience with the requirements of Form N–8A and with disclosure documents generally—and considering that investment companies that are filing notifications of registration on Form N–8A simultaneously with the registration statement under the Investment Company Act are only required by Form N–8A to file a signed cover page—we continue to believe that this estimate is appropriate. Therefore, we estimate that the total annual hour burden to prepare and file notifications of registration on Form N–8A is 99 hours. The currently approved cost burden of Form N–8A is $496. We are updating the estimated costs burden to $562 to account for the effects of inflation. Therefore, we estimate that the total annual cost burden associated with preparing and filing notifications of registration on Form N–8A is about $55,638. 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–8A 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 PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 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 this 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 imposed by 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-135, OMB Control No. 3235-0175]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form N-8A

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-2736

    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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    The Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company Act'') (15 
U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) requires investment companies to register with 
the Commission before they conduct any business in interstate commerce. 
Section 8(a) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment 
company shall be deemed to be registered upon receipt by the Commission 
of a notification of registration in such form as the Commission 
prescribes. Form N-8A (17 CFR 274.10) is the form for notification of 
registration that the Commission has adopted under section 8(a). The 
purpose of such notification of registration provided on Form N-8A is 
to notify the Commission of the existence of investment companies 
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act and to 
enable the Commission to administer the provisions of the Investment 
Company Act with respect to those companies. After an investment 
company has filed its notification of registration under section 8(a), 
the company is then subject to the provisions of the Investment Company 
Act which govern certain aspects of its organization and activities, 
such as the composition of its board of directors and the issuance of 
senior securities. Form N-8A requires an investment company to provide 
its name, state of organization, form of organization, classification, 
the name and address of each investment adviser of the investment 
company, the current value of its total assets, and certain other 
information readily available to the investment company. If the 
investment company is filing a registration statement as required by 
Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act concurrently with its 
notification of registration, Form N-8A requires only that the 
registrant file the cover page (giving its name, address, and agent for 
service of process) and sign the form in order to effect registration.
    Based on recent filings of notifications of registration on Form N-
8A, we estimate that about 99 investment companies file such 
notifications each year. An investment company must only file a 
notification of registration on Form N-8A once. The currently approved 
average hour burden per investment company of preparing and filing a 
notification of registration on Form N-8A is one hour. Based on the 
Commission staff's experience with the requirements of Form N-8A and 
with disclosure documents generally--and considering that investment 
companies that are filing notifications of registration on Form N-8A 
simultaneously with the registration statement under the Investment 
Company Act are only required by Form N-8A to file a signed cover 
page--we continue to believe that this estimate is appropriate. 
Therefore, we estimate that the total annual hour burden to prepare and 
file notifications of registration on Form N-8A is 99 hours. The 
currently approved cost burden of Form N-8A is $496. We are updating 
the estimated costs burden to $562 to account for the effects of 
inflation. Therefore, we estimate that the total annual cost burden 
associated with preparing and filing notifications of registration on 
Form N-8A is about $55,638.
    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-8A 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 this 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 
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
