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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of Investor

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Form N–6F, SEC File No. 270–185, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0238. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

appproved collection of information 

discussed below. 

The title for the collection of 

information is ‘‘Form N–6F (17 CFR 

274.15), Notice of Intent to be Subject to 

Sections 55 through 65 of the 

Investment Company Act of 1940.’’ The 

purpose of Form N–6F is to allow 

business development companies to 

take advantage of the less burdensome 

regulatory provisions available to such 

companies under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 

et seq.) (‘‘1940 Act’’). 

Certain companies may have to make 

a filing with the Commission before 

they are ready to elect to be regulated 

as a business development company.1 A 

company that is excluded from the 

definition of ‘‘investment company’’ by 

Section 3(c)(1) of the 1940 Act because 

it has fewer than one hundred 

shareholders and is not making a public 

offering of its securities may lose such 

an exclusion solely because it proposes 

to make a public offering of securities as 

a business development company. Such 

a company, under certain conditions, 

would not lose its exclusion if it notifies 

the Commission on Form N–6F of its 

intent to make an election to be 

regulated as a business development 

company. The company only has to file 

a Form N–6F once. 

It is estimated that 6 respondents per 

year file with the Commission a Form 

N–6F. Form N–6F requires 

approximately 0.5 burden hours per 

response resulting from creating and 

filing the information required by the 

Form. The total burden hours for Form 

N–6F would be 3 hours per year in the 

aggregate. The estimated annual burden 

of 3 hours represents an increase from 

the prior estimate of 1 hour. This 

increase in burden hours is attributable 

to an increase in the total number of 

respondents from 2 to 6. 

The estimate of average burden hours 

for Form N–6F is made solely for the 

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction 

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–6F is mandatory. The 

information provided by such Form 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 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

[500–1] 

In the Matter of: BBJ Environmental 

Technologies, Inc.; Order of 

Suspension of Trading 

January 22, 2009. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that there is a 

lack of current and accurate information 

concerning the securities of BBJ 

Environmental Technologies, Inc. (‘‘BBJ 

Technologies’’) because it has not filed 

a periodic report since its 10–QSB/A for
