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

(‘‘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 for

extension and approval.

Form N–5—Registration Statement of

Small Business Investment Companies

Under the Securities Act of 1933 and

the Investment Company Act of 1940

Form N–5 is the integrated

registration statement form adopted by

the Commission for use by a small

business investment company which

has been licensed as such under the

Small Business Investment Act of 1958

and has been notified by the Small

Business Administration that the

company may submit a license

application, to register its securities

under the Securities Act of 1933 [15

U.S.C. 77a et seq.] (‘‘Securities Act’’),

and to register as an investment

company under section 8 of the

Investment Company Act of 1940 [15

U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.] (‘‘Investment

Company Act’’). The purpose of

registration under the Securities Act is

to ensure that investors are provided

with material information concerning

securities offered for public sale that

will permit investors to make informed

decisions regarding such securities. The

Commission staff reviews the

registration statements for the adequacy

and accuracy of the disclosure

contained therein. Without Form N–5,

the Commission would be unable to

carry out the requirements of the

Securities Act and the Investment

Company Act for registration of small

business investment companies. The

respondents to the collection of

information are small business

investment companies seeking to

register under the Investment Company

Act and to register their securities for

sale to the public under the Securities

Act. The estimated number of

respondents is two and the proposed

frequency of response is annually. The

estimate of the total annual reporting

burden of the collection of information

is approximately 352 hours per

respondent, for a total of 704 hours.

Form N–8A—Notification of

Registration of Investment Companies

Form N–8A is the form that

investment companies file to notify the

Commission of the existence of active

investment companies. After an

investment company has filed its

notification of registration under section

8(a) of the Investment Company Act, the

company is then subject to the

provisions which govern certain aspects

of its organization and activities, such as

the composition of its board of directors

and the issuance of senior securities.

Form N–8A requires an investment

company to provide its name, state of

organization, form of organization,

classification, if it is a management

company, the name and address of each

investment adviser of the investment

company, the current value of its total

assets and certain other information

readily available to the investment

company. If the investment company is

filing simultaneously its notification of

registration and registration statement,

Form N–8A requires only that the

registrant file the cover page (giving its

name, address and agent for service of

process) and sign the form in order to

effect registration.

The Commission uses the information

provided in the notification on Form N–

8A to determine the existence of active

investment companies and to enable the

Commission to administer the

provisions of the Investment Company

Act with respect to those companies.

Each year approximately 263

investment companies file a notification

on Form N–8A. The Commission

estimates that preparing Form N–8A

requires an investment company to

spend approximately one hour so that

the total burden of preparing Form N–

8A for all affected investment

companies is 263 hours.

Form N–8B–2—Registration Statement

of Unit Investment Trusts That Are

Currently Issuing Securities

Form N–8B–2 is the form used by unit

investment trusts (‘‘UITs’’) that are

currently issuing securities, including

UITs that are issuers of periodic

payment plan certificates and UITs of

which a management investment

company is the sponsor or depositor, to

comply with the filing and disclosure

requirements imposed by section 8(b) of

the Investment Company Act. Form N–

8B–2 requires disclosure about the

organization of a UIT, its securities, the

trustee, the personnel and affiliated

persons of the depositor, the

distribution and redemption of

securities, and financial statements. The

Commission uses the information

provided in the collection of

information to determine compliance

with section 8(b) of the Investment

Company Act.

Based on the Commission’s industry

statistics, the Commission estimates that

there would be approximately 24 initial

filings on Form N–8B–2 and 11 postVerDate 11<MAY>2000 12:42 May 23, 2001 Jkt 194001 PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM pfrm01 PsN: 24MYN1

effective amendment filings to the form.

The Commission estimates that each

registrant filing an initial Form N–8B–

2 would spend 44 hours in preparing

and filing the form and that the total

hour burden for all initial Form N–8B–

2 filings would be 1,056 hours. Also, the

Commission estimates that each UIT

filing a post-effective amendment to

Form N–8B–2 would spend 16 hours in

preparing and filing the amendment and

that the total hour burden for all posteffective amendments to the form would

be 176 hours. By combining the total

hour burdens estimated for initial Form

N–8B–2 filings and post-effective

amendments filings to the form, the

Commission estimates that the total

annual burden hours for all registrants

on Form N–8B–2 would be 1,232.

Estimates of average burden hours are

made solely for the purposes of the

Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not

derived from a comprehensive or even

a representative survey or study of the

costs of Commission rules and forms.

Written comments are invited on: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’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 use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology. Consideration will be given

to comments and suggestions submitted

in writing within 60 days of this

publication.

Please direct your written comments

Executive Director, Office of

Information Technology, Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

Registration; (CollegeLink.com,

Common Stock, $.001 Par Value)

May 18, 2001.

CollegeLink.com, a Delaware

corporation (‘‘Issuer’’), has filed an

application with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’),

thereunder,2 to withdraw its Common

Stock, $.001 par value (‘‘Security’’),

from listing and registration on the

American Stock Exchange LLC

that it has met the requirements of

Amex Rule 18 by complying with all

applicable laws in effect in the State of

Delaware, in which it is incorporated,

and with the Amex’s rules governing an

issuer’s voluntary withdrawal of a

security from listing and registration.

In making the decision to withdraw

the Security from listing on the

Exchange, the Issuer considered:

(1) Its non-compliance with the Amex

maintenance standards concerning the

price per share of an issuer’s security,

and

(2) Its non-compliance with the Amex

maintenance standards concerning the

net tangible assets of an issuer.

The Issuer represents that it will seek

to facilitate the Security being quoted on

the OTC Bulletin Board effective May

22, 2001. The Issuer’s application

relates solely to the Security’s

withdrawal from listing on the Amex

and from registration under section

12(b) of the Act 3 and shall not affect its

obligation to be registered under section

12(g) of the Act.4

Any interested person may, on or

before June 8, 2001, submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549–0609, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the Amex and what terms, if

any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.5
