Abstract: Temporary rule 30b1-6T requires money market funds with a market-based net asset value less than $.9975 to provide to the Commission weekly portfolio information, including the most recent market-based value for each security held. The temporary rule, and its attendant paperwork burden, will expire on September 17, 2010.

Emergency Justfication: This temporary collection of information encompasses a new reporting requirement, prompted by the expiration of the Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The Treasury program guaranteed, for money market funds that participated, the $1.00 share value of accounts held by investors as of September 19, 2008 and was established to help stabilize money market funds. Money market funds participating in the program have been required, if their market-based net asset values declined below $.9975, to submit portfolio schedules and related information each week to the Treasury Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission has found these reports very useful in monitoring money market funds. When the Treasury program expires the Commission will no longer receive these portfolio schedules. The temporary rule will ensure that the Commission continues to receive these portfolio schedules and maintain the ability to monitor money market funds.
