BILLING CODE 7710–12–M 

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: 

Rule 20a–1; SEC File No. 270–132; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0158. 

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 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. The title 

of the collection of information is ‘‘Rule 

20a–1 under the Investment Company 

Act of 1940, Solicitation of Proxies, 

Consents and Authorizations.’’

Rule 20a–1 (17 CFR 270.20a–1) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) requires that 

the solicitation of a proxy, consent, or 

authorization with respect to a security 

issued by a registered investment 

company (‘‘fund’’) be in compliance 

with Regulation 14A (17 CFR 240.14a–

1 et seq.), Schedule 14A (17 CFR 

240.14a–101), and all other rules and 

regulations adopted under section 14(a) 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(15 U.S.C. 78n(a)). It also requires a 

fund’s investment adviser, or a 

prospective adviser, to transmit to the 

person making a proxy solicitation the 

information necessary to enable that 

person to comply with the rules and 

regulations applicable to the 

solicitation. 

Regulation 14A and Schedule 14A 

establish the disclosure requirements 

applicable to the solicitation of proxies, 

consents and authorizations. In 

particular, Item 22 of Schedule 14A 

contains extensive disclosure 

requirements for fund proxy statements. 

Among other things, it requires the 

disclosure of information about fund fee 

or expense increases, the election of 

directors, the approval of an investment 

advisory contract and the approval of a 

distribution plan. 

The Commission requires the 

dissemination of this information to 

assist investors in understanding their 

fund investments and the choices they 

may be asked to make regarding fund 

operations. The Commission does not 

use the information in proxies directly, 

but reviews proxy statement filings for 

compliance with applicable rules. 

It is estimated that funds file 

approximately 1,565 proxy solicitations 

annually with the Commission. That 

figure includes multiple filings by some 

funds. The total annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden of the collection 

of information is estimated to be 

approximately 166,203 hours (1,565 

responses × 106.2 hours per response). 

Rule 20a–1 does not involve any 

recordkeeping requirements. Providing 

the information required by the rule is 

mandatory and information provided 

under the rule 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.
