33488 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 132 / Monday, July 13, 2009 / Notices 

1Rule 8b–3 (17 CFR 270.8b–3) provides that 

whenever a registration form requires the title of 

securities to be stated, the registrant must indicate 

the type and general character of the securities to 

be issued. Rule 8b–22 (17 CFR 270.8b–22) provides 

that if the existence of control is open to reasonable 

doubt, the registrant may disclaim the existence of 

control, but it must state the material facts pertinent 

to the possible existence of control. 

information. Two of the rules, however, 

require limited disclosure of 

information.1 The information required 

by the rules is necessary to ensure that 

investors have clear and complete 

information upon which to base an 

investment decision. The Commission 

uses the information that investment 

companies provide on registration 

statements in its regulatory, disclosure 

review, inspection and policy-making 

roles. The respondents to the collection 

of information are investment 

companies filing registration statements 

under the Act. 

The Commission does not estimate 

separately the total annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden associated with 

rules 8b–1 to 8b–33 because the burden 

associated with these rules is included 

in the burden estimates the Commission 

submits for the investment company 

registration statement forms (e.g., Form 

N–1A (17 CFR 239.15A and 274.11A), 

Form N–2 (17 CFR 239.14 and 274.11a– 

1), Form N–3 (17 CFR 239.17a and 

274.11b), Form N–4 (17 CFR 239.17b 

and 274.11c), and Form N–6 (17 CFR 

239.17c and 274.11d)). For example, a 

mutual fund that prepares a registration 

statement on Form N–1A must comply 

with the rules under section 8(b), 

including rules on riders, amendments, 

the form of the registration statement, 

and the number of copies to be 

submitted. Because the fund only incurs 

a burden from the section 8(b) rules 

when preparing a registration statement, 

it would be impractical to measure the 

compliance burden of these rules 

separately. The Commission believes 

that including the burden of the section 

8(b) rules with the burden estimates for 

the investment company registration 

statement forms provides a more 

accurate and complete estimate of the 

total burdens associated with the 

registration process. For administrative 

purposes, however, we are requesting 

approval for an information collection 

burden of one hour per year. This 

estimate of burden hours is not derived 

from a comprehensive or necessarily 

even representative study of the cost of 

the Commission’s 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 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.
