*Extension:*

Rule 22d-1; SEC File No. 270-275; OMB Control No. 3235-0310.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget requests for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.

                    Rule 22d-1 (17 CFR 270.22d-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) (15 U.S.C. 80a*et seq.*) provides registered investment companies that issue redeemable securities (“funds”) an exemption from section 22(d) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-22(d)) to the extent necessary to permit scheduled variations in or elimination of the sales load on fund securities for particular classes of investors or transactions, provided certain conditions are met. The rule imposes an annual burden per series of a fund of approximately 15 minutes, so that the total annual burden for the approximately 4,862 series of funds that might rely on the rule is estimated to be 1215.5 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.

Responses 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.

                    The public may view the background documentation for this information collection at the following Web site,                     *http://www.reginfo.gov*.
