SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Voluntary XBRL-Related Documents; SEC File No. 270-550, OMB 
Control No. 3235-0611.

    Notice is hereby given that, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``Paperwork Reduction Act''), the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted 
to the Office of Management and Budget

[[Page 66888]]

(``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved collection 
of information discussed below.
    As part of our evaluation of the potential of interactive data 
tagging technology, the Commission permits registered investment 
companies (``funds'') to submit on a voluntary basis specified 
financial statement and portfolio holdings disclosure tagged in 
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (``XBRL'') format as an exhibit 
to certain filings on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, 
Analysis and Retrieval System (``EDGAR''). The current voluntary 
program permits any fund to participate merely by submitting a tagged 
exhibit in the required manner. These exhibits are publicly available 
but are considered furnished rather than filed. The purpose of the 
collection of information is to help evaluate the usefulness of data 
tagging and XBRL to registrants, investors, the Commission, and the 
marketplace.
    We estimate that no funds participate in the voluntary program each 
year. This information collection, therefore, imposes no time burden; 
however, we are requesting a one hour burden for administrative 
purposes. We also estimate that the information collection imposes no 
cost burden.
    Estimates of the average burden hours and costs are made solely for 
the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a 
comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the costs of 
Commission rules and forms. Participation in the program is voluntary. 
Submissions under the program will not be 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information 
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an email to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: October 29, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
