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

    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. Respondents 
each spend approximately three minutes, annually, complying with the 
requirements of the form.
    The estimate of burden hours set forth above is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and is not derived from a 
comprehensive or representative survey or study of the cost of 
Commission rules and forms.
    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 Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an 
email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

    Dated: September 19, 2012.
Kevin M. O'Neill.
Deputy Secretary.
