RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

Summary: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding 

an Information Collection Request (ICR) 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

request a revision to the following 

collection of information: 3220–0039, 

RUIA Applications, consisting of RRB 

Form(s) S1–1a, Application for Sickness 

Benefits; SI–1b, Statement of Sickness; 

SI–3, Claim for Sickness Benefits; SI–7, 

Supplemental Doctor’s Statement; SI–8,

7h, Non-Entitlement to Sickness 

Benefits; ID–11a, Requesting Reason for 

Late Filing of Sickness Benefit; and ID–

11b, Notice of Insufficient Medical and 

Late Filing. Our ICR describes the 

information we seek to collect from the 

public. Completion is required to obtain 

or retain benefits. One response is 

required of each respondent. Review 

and approval by OIRA ensures that we 

impose appropriate paperwork burdens. 

The RRB invites comments on the 

proposed collection of information to 

determine (1) The practical utility of the 

collection; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden of the collection; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information that is the 

subject of collection; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of collections on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments to RRB or OIRA must contain 

the OMB control number of the ICR. For 

proper consideration of your comments, 

it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them 

within 30 days of publication date. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (71 FR No. 236 Pages 

71198–71199 on December 8, 2006) 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That 

request elicited no comments.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon written request, copies available from: 

Securities and Exchange Commission; 

Office of Filings and Information Services, 

Washington, DC 20549 

Extension: Rule 15a–5; SEC File No. 270–

527; OMB Control No. 3235–0587. 

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 collections of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit these existing 

collections of information to the Office 

of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for 

extension and approval. 

Section 15(a) of the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–

15(a)) (the ‘‘Investment Company Act’’

or ‘‘Act’’) prohibits any person from 

serving as an investment adviser (or a 

subadviser) to a fund except under a 

written contract that the fund’s 

shareholders have approved. The 

Commission has granted exemptive 

relief, by order, to a number of 

registered open-end management 

investment companies (‘‘funds’’) whose 

investment advisers do not directly 

manage a portfolio of securities, but 

instead supervise one or more 

subadvisers, which are themselves 

responsible for the day-to-day 

management of the funds’ portfolios 

(‘‘manager of managers funds’’).1

Sponsors have analogized subadvisers 

in a manager of managers arrangement 

to portfolio managers employed by a 

fund adviser who may be hired and
