SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form 24F-2; SEC File No. 270-399, OMB Control No. 3235-0456

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 24f-2 (17 CFR 270.24f-2) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) requires any open-end management companies 
(``mutual funds''), unit investment trusts (``UITs'') or face-amount 
certificate companies

[[Page 40610]]

(collectively, ``funds'') deemed to have registered an indefinite 
amount of securities to file, not later than 90 days after the end of 
any fiscal year in which it has publicly offered such securities, Form 
24F-2 (17 CFR 274.24) with the Commission. Form 24F-2 is the annual 
notice of securities sold by funds that accompanies the payment of 
registration fees with respect to the securities sold during the fiscal 
year.
    The Commission estimates that 7,284 funds file Form 24F-2 on the 
required annual basis. The average annual burden per respondent for 
Form 24F-2 is estimated to be two hours. The total annual burden for 
all respondents to Form 24F-2 is estimated to be 14,568 hours.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of 
Commission rules.
    Compliance with the collection of information required by Form 24F-
2 is mandatory. The Form 24F-2 filing that must be made to the 
Commission is available to the public. 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.
    The Commission requests written comments on: (a) Whether the 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information has 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the 
burdens 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 Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send an email

    Dated: August 22, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
