SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC 
20549.

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 (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-54C under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 274.54) 
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 18 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 18 hours per year in the aggregate. The estimated annual 
burden of 18 hours represents an increase of 10 hours over the prior 
estimate of 8 hours. The increase in burden hours is attributable to an 
increase in the number of respondents from 8 to 18.
    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 Forms N-54C is mandatory. The 
information provided by Form 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.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or e-mail to: 
David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312, or send 
an e-mail to PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: May 1, 2006.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.
