The monthly report on Form N-PORT for the third month of the quarter (the ``quarter-end report'') will continue to become publicly available (i.e., all portions of the quarter-end report, with the exception of the items identified in General Instruction F of Form N- PORT, will be made public upon filing). The monthly reports on Form N- PORT for the first and second months of the fiscal quarter will remain non-public. We are also amending our regulations and Form N-PORT to require that funds, no later than 30 days after the end of each month, maintain in their records the information that is required to be included in Form N-PORT. Registrants will promptly make such records available to the Commission upon request. Finally, we are amending Form N-LIQUID to provide for a voluntary explanatory notes section. Importantly, these amendments in no way affect the amount or timing of the information that will be made available to the public.
