Extension: 

Rule 31a–1 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Rule 31a–1 (17 CFR 270.31a–1) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(the ‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is entitled 

‘‘Records to be maintained by registered 

investment companies, certain majorityowned subsidiaries thereof, and other 

persons having transactions with 

registered investment companies.’’ Rule 

31a–1 requires registered investment 

companies (‘‘funds’’), and every 

underwriter, broker, dealer, or 

investment adviser that is a majorityowned subsidiary of a fund, to maintain 

and keep current accounts, books, and 

other documents which constitute the 

record forming the basis for financial 

statements required to be filed pursuant 

to section 31 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a– 

30) and of the auditor’s certificates 

relating thereto. The rule lists specific 

records to be maintained by funds. The 

rule also requires certain underwriters, 

brokers, dealers, depositors, and 

investment advisers to maintain the 

records that they are required to 

maintain under federal securities laws. 

The Commission periodically inspects 

the operations of funds to insure their 

compliance with the provisions of the 

Act and the rules thereunder. The books 

and records required to be maintained 

by rule 31a–1 constitute a major focus 

of the Commission’s inspection 

program. 

There are approximately 3,964 

investment companies registered with 

the Commission, all of which are 

required to comply with rule 31a–1. For 

purposes of determining the burden 

imposed by rule 31a–1, the Commission 

staff estimates that each fund is divided 

into approximately four series, on 

average, and that each series is required 

to comply with the recordkeeping 

requirements of rule 31a–1. Based on 

conversations with fund representatives, 

it is estimated that rule 31a–1 imposes 

an average burden of approximately 

1,750 hours annually per series for a 

total of 7,000 annual hours per fund. 

The estimated total annual burden for 

all 3,964 funds subject to the rule 

therefore is approximately 27,748,000 

hours. Based on conversations with 

fund representatives, however, the 

Commission staff estimates that even 

absent the requirements of rule 31a–1, 

90 percent of the records created 

pursuant to the rule are the type that 

generally would be created as a matter 

of normal business practice and to 

prepare financial statements. Thus, the 

Commission staff estimates that the total 

annual burden associated with rule 31a– 

1 is 2,774,800 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 required by 

rule 31a–1 is mandatory. Responses will 

not be kept confidential. The records 

required by rule 31a–1 are required to 

be preserved pursuant to rule 31a–2 

under the Investment Company Act (17 

CFR 270.31a–2). Rule 31a–2 requires 

that certain of these records be 

preserved permanently, and that others 

be preserved six years from the end of 

the fiscal year in which any transaction 

occurred. In both cases, the records 

should be kept in an easily accessible 

place for the first two years. 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. 

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 

control number.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection used to support the analysis 

of safety data as part of Safety 

Management Systems required for part 

121 certificate holders. The information 

to be collected will be used to identify 

hazards and show ongoing compliance 

with part 5, Safety Management 

Systems. All collected data and records 

are maintained by the certificate holders 

and not submitted to the FAA. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by February 8, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for the FAA 

to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(d) ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0763. 

Title: Safety Management Systems for 

Part 121. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

Information Collection with changes. 

Background: The information 

collection involves the collection and 

analysis of safety data as part of a Safety 

Management System (SMS), as required 

for Part 121 certificate holders by 14 

CFR Part 5, Safety Management 

Systems. The information to be 

collected will continue to be used to 

identify hazards and show compliance 

with Part 5. 

The existing information collection 

included the submission of SMS 

Implementation Plans to the FAA by 

March 9, 2018. That portion of the 

information collection has been 

completed and only new applicants for 

a Part 121 certificate will be required to 

submit SMS Implementation Plans in 

the future. While the burden for existing 

Part 121 certificate holders is 

significantly reduced, it is anticipated 

there will be some ongoing 

recordkeeping requirements for Part 5 

compliance. 

The FAA previously published a 60- 

Day Federal Register Notice on June 20, 

2018 (83 FR 28758) and a 30-Day 

Federal Register Notice on September 

17, 2018 (83 FR 46990). The FAA did 

not receive any comments on either 

notice. Since the 60-Day and 30-Day 

notices there have been changes to the 

original request. The current number of 

Part 121 certificate holders in 2020 is 68 

compared to 90 in 2015. The 68 Part 121 

certificate holders implemented a Safety 

Management System by the March 9, 

2018 Part 5 deadline. The burden 

analysis has been revised reflecting Part 

121 SMS implementation, revised 

industry numbers, and analysis of postimplementation recordkeeping. 

Respondents: All 68 existing Part 121 

certificate holders. 

Frequency: Implementation plan 

collection: 1 future applicant for Part 

121 certificate (anticipating no more 

than one new applicant a year). 

Recordkeeping requirement: Annual 

recordkeeping requirements for all 68 

existing Part 121 certificates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

assigned National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) agency, will prepare a Draft 

EIS on a proposal for 3.6-mile roadway 

rehabilitation project in San Mateo 

County, California. The project limits 

extend from East Santa Inez Avenue in 

the City of San Mateo to Millbrae 

Avenue in the City of Millbrae. 

The project is needed to address the 

overall condition of the existing 

roadway by correcting the following 

deficiencies: The pavement is currently 

rated as poor, with moderate alligator 

cracking and very poor ride quality 

indicating roadway structural 

inadequacy; water ponding and frequent 

localized flooding occurs due to uneven 

roadway surfaces and inadequate or 

impacted drainage systems; pedestrian 

access is impaired due to lack of 

updated curb ramps and uneven 

sidewalks; pedestrian infrastructure is 

not compliant with state and federal 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 

requirements; existing sidewalks lack 

accessible pedestrian signals systems, 

countdown pedestrian systems, highvisibility striping, or current devices; 

and pavement markings. 

The purpose of the project is to 

preserve and extend the life of the 

roadway and improve ride quality, 

improve drainage efficiency to reduce 

localized flooding, improve visibility for
