Form N-2 is the registration statement
used by closed-end management investment companies, except small
business investment companies and insurance company separate
accounts, to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The
SEC uses the information filed in registration statements to verify
compliance with the federal securities laws.
The proposals in Release No.
33-9143 would enhance the disclosure that companies provide about
short-term borrowings in order to provide more useful disclosure to
investors about a company's liquidity and use of short-term
financing. The increase in the burden associated with Form N-2 is
necessary in order to provide investors with important information
about the financial condition of companies so that they may make
informed investment decisions. The proposal will result in an
annual increase of 253.75 burden hours and an increase in $304,500
for outside professional services.
