SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-318, OMB Control No. 3235-0361]

Proposed Collection; 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:
    Form ADV-E

    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'') 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 ADV-E (17 CFR 279.8) is the cover sheet for certificates of 
accounting filed pursuant to rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment 
Advisers Act of 1940 (17 CFR 275.206(4)-2). The rule further requires 
that the public accountant file with the Commission a Form ADV-E and 
accompanying statement within four business days of the resignation, 
dismissal, removal or other termination of its engagement.
    The Commission has estimated that compliance with the requirement 
to complete Form ADV-E imposes a total burden of approximately 0.05 
hours (3 minutes) per respondent. Based on current information from 
advisers registered with the Commission, the Commission staff estimates 
that 1,749 filings will be submitted with respect to surprise 
examinations and 38 filings will be submitted with respect to 
termination of accountants. Based on these estimates, the total 
estimated annual burden would be 89.35 hours ((1,749 filings x .05 
hours) + (38 filings x .05 hours)).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency'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. An agency may 
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to 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: [email protected].

    Dated: May 9, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
