would impose any burden on 

competition. The purpose of the 

Proposed Rule Change is for LCH SA to 

amend its Fee Grid for 2024 by 

incorporating changes to the CDSClear 

business and new clearing services 

offered to meet Clearing Members’ and 

Clients’ evolving business needs. As 

part of this effort LCH SA is proposing 

to align certain fees with other LCH SA 

service offerings, further incentivize 

competition by offering certain 

discounts and make clarifying changes 

on how fees will be calculated and 

applied. LCH SA believes the Proposed 

Rule Change would not burden any 

Clearing Members or other market 

participants given that amendments to 

the Fee Grid will be applied equally for 

all CDSClear Clearing Members and 

Clients. Therefore, LCH SA does not 

believe that the Proposed Rule Change 

would impose a burden on competition 

not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments relating to the 

Proposed Rule Change have not been 

solicited or received. LCH SA will 

notify the Commission of any written 

comments received by LCH SA. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective upon filing pursuant to section 

19(b)(3)(A) 15 of the Act and paragraph 

(f) of Rule 19b–4 16 thereunder. At any 

time within 60 days of the filing of the 

proposed rule change, the Commission 

summarily may temporarily suspend 

such rule change if it appears to the 

Commission that such action is 

necessary or appropriate in the public 

interest, for the protection of investors, 

or otherwise in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Extension: Form N–CEN 

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 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–CEN under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940.’’ 

Form N–CEN is used to collect annual, 

census-type information for registered 

funds. Filers must submit this report 

electronically using the Commission’s 

electronic filing system ‘‘(EDGAR’’) in 

Extensible Markup Language (‘‘XML’’) 

format. The purpose of Form N–CEN is 

to satisfy the filing and disclosure 

requirements of Section 30 of the 

Investment Company Act, and of rule 

30a–1 thereunder. 

We estimate that the average annual 

hour burden to complete the generally 

applicable items on Form N–CEN 

response will be 18 hours per year. We 

estimate that the aggregate annual hour 

burden to complete the generally 

applicable items will be 59,490 hours 

per year. We therefore estimate that 

filers would have total average 

annualized paperwork related expenses 

related to complete the generally 

applicable items of $605,520 for reports 

on Form N–CEN. 

The requirements of this collection of 

information are mandatory. 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. 

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

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides 

that within 45 days of the publication of 

notice of the filing of a proposed rule 

change, or within such longer period up 

to 90 days as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or as to which the 

self-regulatory organization consents, 

the Commission shall either approve the 

proposed rule change, disapprove the 

proposed rule change, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. The 45th day after 

publication of the notice for this 

proposed rule change is January 20,

45-day time period. 

The Commission finds it appropriate

which to take action on the proposed 

rule change so that it has sufficient time

and the issues raised therein. 

Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant 

to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5

designates March 5, 2024, as the date by
