Extension: Rule 6e–2 and Form N–6EI–1 

OMB Control No. 3235–0177, SEC File No. 

270–177 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Rule 6e–2 (17 CFR 270.6e–2) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive 

rule that provides separate accounts 

formed by life insurance companies to 

fund certain variable life insurance 

products, exemptions from certain 

provisions of the Act, subject to 

conditions set forth in the rule. The rule 

sets forth several information collection 

requirements. 

Rule 6e–2 provides a separate account 

with an exemption from the registration 

provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if 

the account files with the Commission 

Form N–6EI–1 (17 CFR 274.301), a 

notification of claim of exemption. 

The rule also exempts a separate 

account from a number of other sections 

of the Act, provided that the separate 

account makes certain disclosure in its 

registration statements (in the case of 

those separate account that elect to 

register), reports to contractholders, 

proxy solicitations, and submissions to 

state regulatory authorities, as 

prescribed by the rule. 

Paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e–2 provides 

an exemption from the requirements of 

section 17(f) of the Act and imposes a 

reporting burden and certain other 

conditions. Section 17(f) requires that 

every registered management company 

meet various custody requirements for 

its securities and similar investments. 

The exemption provided in paragraph 

(b)(9) applies only to management 

accounts that offer life insurance 

contracts. 

Since 2008, there have been no filings 

under paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e–2 by 

management accounts. Therefore, since 

2008, there has been no cost or burden 

to the industry regarding the 

information collection requirements of 

paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e–2. In 

addition, there have been no filings of 

Form N–6EI–1 by separate accounts 

since 2008. Therefore, there has been no 

cost or burden to the industry since that 

time. The Commission requests 

authorization to maintain an inventory 

of one burden hour for administrative 

purposes. 

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.

documentation for this information 

collection at the following Web site,
