SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Extension; Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copy 

Available From: Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of Filings 

and Information Services, 450 Fifth 

Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. 

Extension: Form N–14, SEC File No. 

270–297, OMB Control No. 3235–0336. 

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’’) 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. 

Form N–14—Registration Statement 

Under the Securities Act of 1933 for 

Securities Issued in Business 

Combination Transactions by 

Investment Companies and Business 

Development Companies. Form N–14 is 

used by investment companies 

registered under the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. 80a–1 

et seq.] (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) 

and business development companies as 

defined by section 2(a)(48) of the 

Investment Company Act to register 

securities under the Securities Act of 

1933 [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] to be issued 

in business combination transactions 

specified in Rule 145(a) (17 CFR 

230.145(a)) and exchange offers. The 

securities are registered under the 

Securities Act to ensure that investors 

receive the material information 

necessary to evaluate securities issued 

in business combination transactions. 

The Commission staff reviews 

registration statements on Form N–14 

for the adequacy and accuracy of the 

disclosure contained therein. Without 

Form N–14, the Commission would be 

unable to verify compliance with 

securities law requirements. The 

respondents to the collection of 

information are investment companies 

or business development companies 

issuing securities in business 

combination transactions. The estimated 

number of responses is 485 and the 

collection occurs only when a merger or 

other business combination is planned. 

The estimated total annual reporting 

burden of the collection of information 

is approximately 620 hours per response 

for a new registration statement, and 

approximately 350 hours per response 

for an amended Form N–14, for a total 

of 257,770 annual burden hours. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the Commission’s 

mission, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’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. 

Please direct your written comments 

to Michael E. Bartell, Associate 

Executive Director, Office of 

Information Technology, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, 450 5th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20549.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–45183; File No. SR–Phlx–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.; 

Order Approving Proposed Rule 

Change and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 

Relating to the Establishment of a 

Competing Specialist Program 

December 21, 2001. 

On October 22, 2001, the Philadelphia 

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Phlx’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

establish a competing specialist 

program.

The proposed rule change and 

Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 were 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on November 13, 2001.3 No 

comments were received on the 

proposal. In this order, the Commission 

is approving the proposed rule change, 

as amended.

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the requirements of the Act and the 

rules and regulations thereunder 

applicable to a national securities 

exchange 4 and, in particular, with the 

requirements of Section 6(b)(5).5

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 6 because it is 

designed to perfect the mechanisms of 

a free and open market and a national 

market system and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. The 

Commission believes that a competing 

specialist program will assist the 

Exchange in maintaining an efficient 

and open market.

The Commission approves this 

proposed rule change provided that the 

priority of the customer limit order book 

is preserved by proposed rule 229A 

consistent with Phlx Rules 218 and 452. 

It Is Therefore Ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,7 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2001–

97), as amended, is approved.

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.8
