exemption’s conditions can be 

confirmed. The exemption affects 

participants and beneficiaries of the 

plans that are involved in such 

transactions as well as certain brokerdealers, reporting dealers, banks, 

underwriting syndicates, and market

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor 

(Department) is particularly interested 

in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The Office of Management and 

Budget’s (OMB) approval of this ICR

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549.

Extension: 

Form N–8F; SEC File No. 270–136; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0157.

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 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved information collection of 

information discussed below. 

Form N–8F (17 CFR 274.218) is the 

form prescribed for use by registered 

investment companies in certain 

circumstances to request orders of the 

Commission declaring that the 

registration of that investment company 

cease to be in effect. The form requests, 

from investment companies seeking a 

deregistration order, information about 

(i) the investment company’s identity, 

(ii) the investment company’s 

distributions, (iii) the investment 

company’s assets and liabilities, (iv) the 

events leading to the request to 

deregister, and (v) the conclusion of 

business. The information is needed by 

the Commission to determine whether 

an order of deregistration is appropriate. 

The Form takes approximately 3 

hours on average to complete. It is 

estimated that approximately 261 

investment companies file Form N–8F 

annually, so that the total annual 

burden for the form is estimated to be 

783 hours. The estimate of average 

burden hours is made solely for the 

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act and is not derived from a 

comprehensive or even a representative 

survey or study. 

The collection of information on Form 

N–8F is not mandatory. The information 

provided on N–8F 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 control number. 

General requirements regarding the 

above information should be directed to 

the following persons: (i) Desk Officer 

for the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10102, 

New Executive Office Building, 

Washington, DC 20503, or e-mail to: 

DavidlRostker@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) 

R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Office of 

Information Technology, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20549. Comments 

must be submitted to OMB within 30 

days of this notice.

November 22, 2004. 

Margaret H. McFarland, 

Deputy Secretary.
