                    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange                           ( print page 4486)                        Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 20549-0213.                 

Extension: 

Form N-54C; SEC File No. 270-184; OMB Control No. 3235-0236.

                    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501*et seq.*) (the “Act”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.                 

Form N-54C (17 CFR 274.54) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) is a notification to the Commission that a company withdraws its election to be regulated as a business development company. Such a company only has to file a Form N-54C once. 

It is estimated that approximately 12 respondents per year file with the Commission a Form N-54C. Form N-54C requires approximately 1 burden hour per response resulting from creating and filing the information required by the Form. The total burden hours for Form N-54C would be 12 hours per year in the aggregate. The estimated annual burden of 12 hours represents a decrease of 6 hours over the prior estimate of 18 hours. The decrease in burden hours is attributable to a decrease in the number of respondents from 18 to 12. 

The estimate of average burden hours for Form N-54C is made solely for the purposes of the Act and is not derived from a comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the cost of Commission rules and forms. 

The collection of information under Form N-54C is mandatory. The information provided by Form N-54C is not 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 OMB control number. 

                    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an email to:                     *Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov*; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to:                     *PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov*. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.                 

Dated: January 14, 2009. 

Florence E. Harmon, 

Deputy Secretary.
