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 N-8B-2. SEC File No. 270-186, OMB Control No. 3235-0186.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-8B-2 (17 CFR 274.12) is the form used by unit investment 
trusts (``UITs'') other than separate accounts that are currently 
issuing securities, including UITs that are issuers of periodic payment 
plan certificates and UITs of which a management investment company is 
the sponsor or depositor, to comply with the filing and disclosure 
requirements imposed by section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-8(b)). Form N-8B-2 requires disclosure about the 
organization of a UIT, its securities, the personnel and affiliated 
persons of the depositor, the distribution and redemption of 
securities, the trustee or custodian, and financial statements. The 
Commission uses the information provided in the collection of 
information to determine compliance with section 8(b) of the Investment 
Company Act.
    Each registrant subject to the Form N-8B-2 filing requirement files 
Form N-8B-2 for its initial filing and does not file post-effective 
amendments on Form N-8B-2.\1\ The Commission staff estimates that 
approximately four respondents each file one Form N-8B-2 filing 
annually with the Commission. Staff estimates that the burden for 
compliance with Form N-8B-2 is approximately 10 hours per filing. The 
total hour burden for the Form N-8B-2 filing requirement therefore is 
40 hours in the aggregate (4 respondents x one filing per respondent x 
10 hours per filing).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Post-effective amendments are filed with the Commission on 
the UIT's Form S-6. Hence, respondents only file Form N-8B-2 for 
their initial registration statement and not for post-effective 
amendments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimates of the burden hours are made solely for the purposes of 
the PRA and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a 
representative survey or study of the costs of SEC rules and forms. The 
information provided on Form N-8B-2 is mandatory. The information 
provided on Form N-8B-2 will not be kept confidential. An agency

a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.

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:

days of this notice.
