BILLING CODE 6325–38–P

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549.

Extension: 

Rule 7d–1; SEC File No. 270–176; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0311. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3520), the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting 

comments on the collections of information 

summarized below. The Commission plans to 

submit these existing collections of 

information to the Office of Management and 

Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. 

Section 7(d) of the Investment Company 

Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. 80a–7(d)] (the ‘‘Act’’

or ‘‘Investment Company Act’’) requires an 

investment company (‘‘fund’’) organized 

outside the United States (‘‘foreign fund’’) to 

obtain an order from the Commission 

allowing the fund to register under the Act 

before making a public offering of its 

securities through the United States mail or 

any means of interstate commerce. The 

Commission may issue an order only if it 

finds that it is both legally and practically 

feasible effectively to enforce the provisions 

of the Act against the foreign fund, and that 

the registration of the fund is consistent with 

the public interest and protection of 

investors. 

Rule 7d–1 [17 CFR 270.7d–1] under the 

Act, which was adopted in 1954, specifies 

the conditions under which a Canadian 

management investment company 

(‘‘Canadian fund’’) may request an order from 

the Commission permitting it to register 

under the Act. Although rule 7d–1 by its 

terms applies only to Canadian funds, other 

foreign funds generally have agreed to 

comply with the requirements of rule 7d–1 

as a prerequisite to receiving an order 

permitting those foreign funds’ registration 

under the Act. 

The rule requires a Canadian fund that 

wishes to register to file an application with 

the Commission that contains various 

undertakings and agreements by the fund. 

Certain of these undertakings and 

agreements, in turn, impose the following 

additional information collection 

requirements: 

(1) The fund must file agreements between 

the fund and its directors, officers, and 

service providers requiring them to comply 

with the fund’s charter and bylaws, the Act, 

and certain other obligations relating to the 

undertakings and agreements in the 

application; 

(2) The fund and each of its directors, 

officers, and investment advisers that is not 

a U.S. resident, must file an irrevocable 

designation of the fund’s custodian in the 

United States as agent for service of process; 

(3) The fund’s charter and bylaws must 

provide that (a) the fund will comply with
