SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; 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:
    Rule 0-2, Form ADV-NR, [SEC File No. 270-214, OMB Control No. 
3235-0240]

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 0-2 and Form 
ADV-NR under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.'' Rule 0-2 and Form 
ADV-NR facilitate service of process to non-resident investment 
advisers and exempt reporting advisers and their non-resident general 
partners or non-resident managing agents. The Form requires these 
persons to designate the Commission as agent for service of process. 
The purpose of this collection of information is to obtain appropriate 
consent to permit the Commission and other parties to bring actions 
against non-resident partners and agents for violations of the federal 
securities laws and to enable the commencement of legal and/or 
regulatory actions against investment advisers that are doing business 
in the United States, but are not residents.
    The respondents to this information collection would be each non-
resident

general partner or non-resident managing agent of an SEC-registered 
adviser and of an exempt reporting adviser. The Commission has 
estimated that compliance with the requirement to complete Form ADV-NR 
imposes a total burden of approximately 1.0 hour for an adviser. Based 
on our experience with these filings, we estimate that we will receive 
36 Form ADV-NR filings annually. Based on the 1.0 hour per respondent 
estimate, the Commission staff estimates a total annual burden of 36 
hours for this collection of information.
    Rule 0-2 and Form ADV-NR do not require recordkeeping or records 
retention. The collection of information requirements under the rule 
and form is mandatory. The information collected pursuant to the rule 
and Form ADV-NR is a filing with the Commission. This filing is not 
kept confidential and must be preserved until at least three years 
after termination of the enterprise. 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 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) 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 
to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: September 19, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
