COMMISSION 

[SEC File No. 270–399, OMB Control No. 

3235–0456] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Form 24F–2 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

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’’) 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. 

Rule 24f–2 (17 CFR 270.24f–2) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(15 U.S.C. 80a) requires any open-end 

investment companies, unit investment 

trusts (‘‘UITs’’), registered closed-end 

investment companies that make 

periodic repurchase offers under rule 

23c–3 under the Investment Company 

Act [17 CFR 270.23c–3] (‘‘interval 

funds’’), and face-amount certificate 

companies (collectively, ‘‘funds’’) 

deemed to have registered an indefinite 

amount of securities to file, not later 

than 90 days after the end of any fiscal 

year in which it has publicly offered 

such securities, Form 24F–2 (17 CFR 

274.24) with the Commission. Form 

24F–2 is the annual notice of securities 

sold by funds that accompanies the 

payment of registration fees with respect 

to the securities sold during the fiscal 

year. 

The Commission estimates that 5,116 

funds file Form 24F–2 on the required 

annual basis. The average annual 

burden per respondent for Form 24F–2 

is estimated to be four hours. The total 

annual burden for all respondents to 

Form 24F–2 is estimated to be 20,464 

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 of the 

costs of Commission rules. 

Compliance with the collection of 

information required by Form 24F–2 is 

mandatory. The Form 24F–2 filing that 

must be made to the Commission is 

available to the public. 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 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’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 

by March 11, 2024. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Please direct your written comments 

to: David Bottom, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o John 

Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, 

DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_

Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Dated: January 8, 2024.

Assistant Secretary.
