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:
    Rule 22d-1. OMB Control No.: 3235-0310, SEC File No. 270-275.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (``Paperwork Reduction Act'') (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted 
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for 
extension of the previously approved collection of information 
discussed below.
    Rule 22d-1 (17 CFR 270.22d-1) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (the ``1940 Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) provides registered 
investment companies that issue redeemable securities (``funds'') an 
exemption from section 22(d) of the 1940 Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-22(d)) to 
the extent necessary to permit scheduled variations in or elimination 
of the sales load on fund securities for particular classes of 
investors or transactions, provided certain conditions are met. The 
rule imposes an annual burden per series of a fund of approximately 15 
minutes, so that the total annual burden for the approximately 4714 
series of funds that might rely on the rule is estimated to be 1178.5 
hours.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is based on 
communications with industry representatives, and is not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.
    Responses 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, 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: May 9, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
