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:
    Form N-Q; SEC File No. 270-519; OMB Control No. 3235-0578.

    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 (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-Q (17 CFR 249.332 and 274.130) is a combined reporting form 
that is used for reports of registered management investment companies 
(``funds''), other than small business investment companies registered 
on Form N-5, under Section 30(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 
(15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company Act'') and Section 
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 
seq.). Pursuant to Rule 30b1-5 under the Investment Company Act, funds 
are required to file with the Commission quarterly reports on Form N-Q 
not more than 60 days after the close of the first and third quarters 
of each fiscal year containing their complete portfolio holdings.
    Form N-Q contains collection of information requirements. The 
respondents to this information collection are management investment 
companies subject to Rule 30b1-5 under the Investment Company Act. 
Approximately 8,000 portfolios are required to file reports on Form N-
Q, which is estimated to require an average of 21 hours per portfolio 
per year to complete. The estimated annual burden of complying with the 
filing requirement is approximately 168,000 hours. The estimates of 
average burden hours are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and are not derived from 
a comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the cost of 
Commission rules and forms. The collection of information under Form N-
Q is mandatory. The information provided by the form 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 control number.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to 
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to Shagufta 
Ahmed at Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, 
Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-
mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 
30 days of this notice.

    Dated: February 19, 2010.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
