Extension: Rule 30b1–5; SEC File No. 270–

520; OMB Control No. 3235–0577. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the U.S. 

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. 

The title for the collection of 

information is ‘‘Rule 30b1–5 under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940, 

Quarterly Filing of Schedule of Portfolio 

Holdings of Registered Management 

Investment Companies.’’

Rule 30b1–5 under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 requires 

registered management investment 

companies, other than small business 

investment companies registered on 

Form N–5, to file a quarterly report via 

the Commission’s EDGAR system on 

Form N–Q, not more than sixty calendar 

days after the close of each first and 

third fiscal quarter, containing their 

complete portfolio holdings. 

The Commission estimates that there 

are 9,850 management investment 

companies and series that are governed 

by the rule. The Commission estimates 

that the annual burden associated with 

the rule is 1 hour per affected 

investment company or series. The total 

burden hours for rule 30b1–5 is 9,850 

per year in the aggregate (9,850 

responses × 1 hour per response). 

Estimates of average burden hours are 

made solely for the purposes of the Act, 

and are not derived from a 

comprehensive or even a representative 

survey or study of the costs of 

Commission rules and forms. 

The collection of information under 

rule 30b1–5 is mandatory. The 

information provided under rule 30b1–

5 is not kept confidential. The 

Commission may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

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 

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 the 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 

to R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Office of
