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
17 17

CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

N–8B–2.1 The Commission staff
estimates that approximately one
respondent files one Form N–8B–2
filing annually with the Commission.2
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 10
hours in the aggregate (1 respondent ×
one filing per respondent × 10 hours per
filing).
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
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
The public may view the background
documentation for this information
collection at the following website,
www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the
Securities and 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: Shagufta_
[email protected]; and (ii) Charles
Riddle, Acting Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Candace
Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington,
DC 20549 or send an email to: PRA_
[email protected]. Comments must be
submitted to OMB within 30 days of
this notice.

BILLING CODE 8011–01–P

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.
2 In 2015 the Commission received 3 filings,
while in 2016 and 2017, the Commission received
0 filings, respectively. The cumulative 3-year
average is, therefore, 1 filing per year.
