Form T–3, OMB Control No. 3235–0105, 

SEC File No. 270–123. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for approval. 

Form T–3 (17 CFR 269.3) is an 

application for qualification of an 

indenture under the Trust Indenture Act 

of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.). The 

information provided by Form T–3 is 

used by the staff to decide whether to 

qualify an indenture relating to 

securities offered to the public in an 

offering registered under the Securities 

Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form 

T–3 takes approximately 43 hours per 

response to prepare and is filed by 78 

respondents. We estimate that 25% of 

the 43 burden hours (11 hours per 

response) is prepared by the filer for a 

total reporting burden of 858 hours (11 

hours per response × 78 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether this proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

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. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.

Extension: 

Form N–6, SEC File No. 270–446, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0503. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

The title for the collection of 

information is ‘‘Form N–6 (17 CFR 

239.17c and 274.11d) under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) and under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 

et seq.) registration statement of separate 

accounts organized as unit investment 

trusts that offer variable life insurance 

policies.’’ Form N–6 is the form used by 

insurance company separate accounts 

organized as unit investment trusts that 

offer variable life insurance contracts to 

register as investment companies under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

and/or to register their securities under 

the Securities Act of 1933. The primary 

purpose of the registration process is to 

provide disclosure of financial and 

other information to investors and 

potential investors for the purpose of 

evaluating an investment in a security. 

Form N–6 also permits separate 

accounts organized as unit investment 

trusts that offer variable life insurance 

contracts to provide investors with a 

prospectus containing information 

required in a registration statement prior 

to the sale or at the time of confirmation 

of delivery of securities. 

The Commission estimates that there 

are approximately 250 separate accounts 

registered as unit investment trusts and 

offering variable life insurance policies 

that file registration statements on Form 

N–6. The Commission estimates that 

there are 95 initial registration 

statements on Form N–6 filed annually. 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 813 registration 

statements (718 post-effective 

amendments plus 95 initial registration 

statements) are filed on Form N–6 

annually. The Commission estimates 

that the hour burden for preparing and 

filing a post-effective amendment on 

Form N–6 is 67.5 hours. The total 

annual hour burden for preparing and 

filing post-effective amendments is 

48,465 hours (718 post-effective 

amendments annually times 67.5 hours 

per amendment). The estimated hour 

burden per portfolio for preparing and 

filing an initial registration statement on 

Form N–6 is 770.25 hours. The 

estimated annual hour burden for 

preparing and filing initial registration 

statements is 73,174 hours (95 initial 

registration statements annually times 

770.25 hours per registration statement). 

The frequency of response is annual. 

The total annual hour burden for Form 

N–6, therefore, is estimated to be 

121,639 hours (48,465 hours for posteffective amendments plus 73,174 hours 

for initial registration statements). 

The information collection 

requirements imposed by Form N–6 are 

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 control number. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of 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. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.
