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:
    Form ADV-E, SEC File No. 270-318, OMB Control No. 3235-0361

    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

[[Page 39484]]

``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a 
request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    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)).
    The information provided on Form ADV-E is mandatory. Responses will 
not be kept confidential. 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following website, 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: 
[email protected]; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace 
Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: August 3, 2018.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
