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 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'' (17 CFR 
275.0-2) and ``Form ADV-NR'' (17 CFR 279.4) under the Investment 
Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1). Rule 0-2 and Form ADV-NR 
facilitate service of process to non-resident investment 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 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. The Commission has estimated that compliance with 
the requirement to complete Form ADV-NR imposes a total burden of 
approximately 1 hour for an adviser. Based on our experience with these 
filings, we estimate that we will receive 18 Form ADV-NR filings 
annually. Based on the 1.0 hour per respondent estimate, the Commission 
staff estimates a total annual burden of 18 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 are 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.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
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 Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 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: August 30, 2010.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
